Hello,

How can we show Time in Kibana timelion visualization in Kibana 6.0. I can show values in legends for metrics used. However could not see time.

Hi,

If you see the X-axis, it is plotting the graph by the minute . This is on Kibana 6.2.0 ( yet to be released) But am sure this has been the case in 6.0 as well. Can you elaborate on your problem with screenshots to understand better

Thanks  
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,

Thanks for reply. I might be not clear in my query. As you see in legend it shows value of metric at point of time. Similarly I want to see exact time as legend or somewhere else.  
I do not have screenshot with me as of now. I will try and post them tomorrow.

Regards,  
Shailesh

hmm, am on 6.2.1 and I do see the timestamp and value. ![35%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/6/06c713810a39d57fee3f437248e637cb3137683a.png)

I will have to check if this is the same case in 6.0 too.

Thanks  
Rashmi
