I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but I would like to get the delta from the number of items each day.

Take for example, day1 had 20 entries. day2 had 30 entries. Is method to get the delta in this situation? So instead of plotting 20 and 30, i'd like to plot 10.

Thanks.

Not at this time, Kibana will need to support some form of pipeline aggregations before this will be possible. Follow [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4584](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4584) for status on that feature request.

Maybe with the Timelion plugin and using the derivative function?
