I have created a visualization to obtain average TPS for my application using Timelion. ![timelion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/0/c0e90708dde2e69dcf3db2e32a9e45ea5826df73.png) Here you can see some straight lines that indicates average TPS for given time period. Timelion expression is as follows: `.es(index=t*, timefield='@timestamp').aggregate(avg).scale_interval(1s).label('Average Total TPS').color('blue')` What I want is getting same figure using a simple visualization like metric. No need to use a straight line as above. Any ideas? ---

Hi @isharamadhawa. I created something similar using Metricbeat in the screenshot below. I hope this helps. ![Screen Shot 2020-07-08 at 1.52.27 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/3/938be486fad996498ee3202a5ebf8b8b3371b6f3.png) ---

I tried this even before posting this question. I can't generate this as I receive shard failure error. Result shows is incorrect as well. Also time interval should be second as well. But I can generate data in Timelion without any issue. Is there any visualization that I can use timelion expression or something similar to get that data as a single figure? ![Screenshot from 2020-07-09 08-28-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/f/cfbffc97f2a59be9b3dbe0c88b1e2e183015b318.png) ---

Hi @isharamadhawa. What is your date range set to? Scaling a large date range over the seconds interval is probably causing the shard failure. If you absolutely must have seconds as an interval over a large date range, you may need to scale up your Elasticsearch cluster. This might mean adding more nodes or increasing system resources. The [Designing for Scale chapter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/scale.html) in the Elasticsearch Definitive Guide may be useful. ---

Hi @nickpeihl, I selected a large data range. This works fine in Timelion visualization. Why can't we get it worked in a simple visualization? I think this is a very fundamental visualization. We have to divide total count from total number of seconds of the selected date range. Is there any workaround that I can apply Timelion expression to another visualization. Or any other way that I can achieve this? Thank you ---

We have to divide total count from total number of seconds of the selected date range. Sorry, I previously misunderstood the issue. I believe you can replicate this by enabling the "Scale Metric Values" option in the Advanced options. This setting [appears to be deprecated](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/47599) in the current release, but it should work until Kibana v8.0 is released. ![Screen Shot 2020-07-13 at 9.13.27 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/3/e3b9429ac762cb3a2f6d583ad2b4fff18692df07.png) > Is there any workaround that I can apply Timelion expression to another visualization. Or any other way that I can achieve this? Unfortunately, no. Timelion expressions are unique to timelion only. ---
