I have multiple date fileds in my kibana index. of which i want to plot my data over two date histogram fields independently to show a trend . i want to do it in a single graph. But kibana does not have option to do more than one aggregation in a single visualization.  
Is there any way to do ?

Problem specific Description:  
i have bugs as data in my elastic index. in each row there is a filed 'big creation date' and another date field is also there named 'resolved date' .  
if bug is not resolved then resolved date is null  
i want to plot trend of bugs ,created and resolved over monthly in a single graph.  
problem is , if i am choosing creation date as aggregation then it is taking those rows corresponds to creation date , it is not taking resolved date as independent aggregation.  
Any other way to solve this problem?

There's a way to get the data into a single graph in Timelion, you can just do an expression like:

```auto
.es(timefield=creation_date) .es(timefield=resolved_date)

```

That will get you 2 lines, where one has the count of bugs created per date, and the other line has the count of bugs resolved per date.

> if bug is not resolved then resolved date is null

Maybe you'll want a 3rd line that queries for the count of open bugs, using

```auto
.es(q='NOT _exists_:resolved_date')

```

Make sure to read the Docs that are in the Timelion app. The `.es` function has a lot of options that can help your query.
