Folks  
I am really stuck with one task.  
I have access logs which has a value "request\_time" (in seconds and miliseconds)  
I can't seem to find a way to create a graph which will have that value over time  
Can someone help?  
BTW, I am so frustrated with a poor documentation and explanation of kibana features.  
Thank you!

Hi Peter, thanks for asking your question on our forums. The simplest way to visualize time series data is with Timelion. Here are a couple resources for learning how to use this tool:

- [Getting Started blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/timelion-tutorial-from-zero-to-hero)
- [Timelion docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion-create.html)

If you need more functionality, you can also take a look at [Time Series Visual Builder](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/time-series-visual-builder.html). Please take a look at these options and let me know if you get stuck.

Thanks,  
CJ
