Hi,
I monitor number of packets sent and received in my network and would like to visualize this in Kibana.
I can plot one entity at the time but I would like to see both at the same time.
I have data looking like this:
"port": 46156,
"name": "n\_sent\_packets",
"type": "counter",
"value": 283097,
"timestamp": "2017-02-08T13:37:34.499147891Z"
and
"port": 46156,
"name": "n\_received\_packets",
"type": "counter",
"value": 156283,
"timestamp": "2017-02-08T13:37:34.499147891Z"
As you can see, both counters stores the interesting data in a field called value.
When I make a search for for both "n\_sent\_packets" and "n\_received\_packets" I will see the sum when I try to make a graph.
Is it possible to show two individual graphs when data is stored using the same field name?
If so, how?

if i understand correctly you could do go to visualize-\>vertical bar chart, select histogram as your x axis aggregation, then add another aggregation to split terms, select term aggregation, select name as a field
you might want to set filters to limit names only to this two options (in case you have more)

Hi ppisljar,
The problem is that I get two bars with exactly the same height (= sum of both counters)
I want one bar to sum the values of all events and having the field "n\_sent\_packets" and the other bar should sum the values of all events having the field "n\_received\_packets".
Is this possible?

you defined two metrics ....
you should add a term bucket agg ... under the buckets click add bucket, select split terms then select term agg

I am reading your instruction over and over again but I can not make it right.
I do not find any split tems, I can choose between "split bar" and "split chart"
The result looks loki this:
Both counters still shows the same values.
Do I miss some functionality in my Kibana since I do not find "split term" or is it a typo?
Please give me more hints.
Kinds regards
Mathias

I think it is actually working.
It seems like my input data caused the bars to have equal size.
I will test on real data to be sure.
Thanks
