Hi All,

I am new to the world of ELK, trying to use the visual builder visualization to extract duration for each job.

Instead of the count, I wanted to show the duration, any help would be much appreciated.  
Refer below image.

Thanks

Is `duration` a field stored in your mapping? You should be able to choose something like "Sum" then select "duration" instead of "Count".

No, I don't have duration field in mapping, but its visible on x-axis when the job started and finished. Can we not just extract that.
