In Kibana, the metric value should be filtered on the basis of a custom/database field rather than raw count of selected index.

Is there any possible way for above?

@Meenakshi07, can you go into more detail about what you are trying to achieve? Perhaps provide a screenshot and some data to illustrate the problem?

Please find the attached screenshots.  
My requirement is instead of Unique count of 'correlation\_strength.raw' in metrics, I want to directly choose the 'correlation\_strength.raw'.

Also, kindly explain about 'Count' in the metrics.

Hi, I have attached the screenshots, do you need any more information? Can the metric value be filtered on the basis of a custom database field ?
