How do I assign a series to a different scale or y axis?

I split my series but one of the series has a considerably lower count than the other. Is there any way to create a different y-axis and then assign the second series to this other scale so that the trends are easier to visualize on one single graph?

@Sakib_Rahman

this isn't possible when using `split series` but you might be able to use Timelion do create multiple series and rescale them individually using the `.multiply` function.

this is a good entry point [https://www.elastic.co/blog/timelion-tutorial-from-zero-to-hero](https://www.elastic.co/blog/timelion-tutorial-from-zero-to-hero)

Yes, Timelion seems to have the functionalities I need, however I am not sure if it can be used for anything other than timeseries. My x-axis not date/time but based on an integer field.

@Sakib_Rahman

for that, I would create a new enhancement request [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new)
