I have an index where I'm dumping the information from a GitHub repository that I want to create a chart to view the opened, closed and backlog (opened - closed) issues by date to view the progress.  
I have the fields `created_at` and `closed_at` (that can be empty for opened defects).  
How can I do this in a kibana visualization?

Hi Oscar. I don't think we have enough information to help you with this. Can you explain in detail how the visualization should look?

I was able to do this by using timelion chart.  
Here is what I was looking for:
