Is it possible to perform some math on a metric in Kibana? For example, I have a Max value for each day. I want to SUM that max value for each day and display the total on a dashboard.

You can use scripted fields for that - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-fields.html#create-scripted-field](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-fields.html#create-scripted-field)

Not really, best is to follow inline directions in the product itself.
