Hi,

I have created one kibana visualization in which I kept @timestamp as my X-axis co-ordinate by default it starts from 2:00 and keep on increasing 3hrs . Is it possible to configure the X-axis to start from 1:00 AM and it should keep on increasing 1hr interval like(1:00, 2:00, 3:00, etc)

Changing the spacing of the ticks on the X-axis is not possible. You're right that it doesn't necessarily correspond to the time interval of the aggregation. This is mainly to avoid cluttered labeling on the x-axis.

I created this enhancement request for the Kibana project: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7991](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/7991)

I'd propose to follow up there with more feedback or comments about this as well.
