Hi there! I'm having some problems with the Visual Builder Gauge visualization. I have all the data on some given indices (say test\_1, test\_2, test\_3, test\_4) between the 2019/07/10 and 2019/07/20. I wanted to make a percentage of the error events over the total (log\_level: ERROR / log\_level: \*) and I'm using the filter ratio agg of the VB Gauge, as I successfully did in the past. Now, couple of problems: 1. Differently from the past, if I use a parent/sibling aggregation after the Filter Ratio (like the Overall Average, which was necessary to get the right estimate in past releases), it shows me "No data to visualize". 2. If I only keep the Filter Ratio agg with the Count metric, it returns the right estimate only if I set a very large timespan, like `6 years ago-now`, even if the data are only present withn the above-mentioned timerange. Before you ask, I only have one temporal field (@timestamp edited in Logstash and recognized as correct time field by the index pattern). Is it a bug of the 7.3 release? Otherwise, what can cause this strange behavior? Thank you all! ---

In case they might help, I'll post some screenshots. As you can see from these first two screens, I only have data (for that specific index pattern) between 2019-07-10 and 2019-07-20. In fact, setting the `from` parameter equal to ~7 years ago didn't change the number of docs. ![discover_limited_timerange](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/e/8e98555602d02ab114e2227286a07889b6a44bb5.png) ![discover_wide_timerange](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/4/c456c69fabebcb52269d1f9aa26d1003be17e59b.png) Now, moving to the Visual Builder Gauge visualization, I set these preferences in the `Panel Options` (index pattern is obviously the same of the one used in the Discovery section): ![vb_panel_options](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/c/dcaea7513c12b2e592da52d4af0d603bd90257a8.png). In the `Data` section, as you can see from the following pics, first, I do not need any sibling or parent aggregation to get some results. On the contrary, if I try and put one (as I used to do in 6.6.1 for example) it even tells me `No data to display for the selected metrics`. Though, if I remove the sibling aggregation, I can only see the right percentage setting an incredibly wide timespan (~7 years, not even ~1 year), which doesn't make sense since I only have data within a very restricted timerange. ![no_data_to_display](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/d/4de602caba457baf8ec643e0576cbe438048b4ea.png) ![vb_data_short_timerange](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/c/0c50676505bb3b629ab937fe4ee35a588998fdba.png) ![vb_data_wide_timerange](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/3/83345e5496b4a444eb9c6a24104640adb3a03679.png) I can think nothing but a bug, but maybe something changed in 7.3 and I don't know and I'm simply skipping some passages. Ideas? ---

Yes, Overall Overage is broken in 7.3.0- not sure what version you upgraded from, but the bug was only caught recently and is backported for the 7.3.1 release: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/42074](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/42074) ---

Ok, so I wasn't wrong. Last time I used the Overall Average was in 6.6.1 and it kinda worked. Now the overall average doesn't work, but it looks like a problem of the Visual Builder in general to me. Since it's not normal I can see the right value by increasing the timerange where there are no data, regardless of the Overall Average. Thank you anyway. ---
