Hi Anothony,

There's 2 possible solutions I can think of;

1. you can click the Advanced link at the bottom of an aggregation and enter 'JSON Input'. It's rather difficult and I can't provide much help other than a link I've previously found;  
[Display concurrency in data on Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/display-concurrency-in-data-on-kibana/26006/12)

2. Install the Timelion plugin for Kibana. It's pretty powerful and if you search you can find some videos on it. Depending on the version of Kibana you're running you might install it something like;  
`/bin/kibana plugin -i timelion`

Regards,  
Lee
