Hello,

I'm trying to create a visualization of a histogram in kibana from the following data:

Discover:  
The field that contains the data for the histogram is "current\_hist"

 ![discover_histogram](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/5/758b1607fb32c23e4384e6735021279b79873c22.png)

If I do a query with the devtools, they look like this:

 ![query_histogram](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/8/98c9ea903b1c6131921baac672f507179044b9eb.png)

Is thre any way to represent this data?

Thank you for the inconvenience

Kibana visualizations expect documents with single values to generate the different charts. This is pretty different. Do you want a single chart per document? aggregate the `counts` somehow?

For this data shape, I'd take a look to the Vega visualization type to transform your documents into the dimensions you want to visualize.
