Kibana uses Elasticsearch aggregations under the hood. Elasticsearch currently doesn't support a cummulative min aggregation, but I think it's a valid use case - feel free to open a feature request in the Github repo: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/new?labels=\>enhancement%2Cneeds%3Atriage&template=feature-request.md](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/new?labels=%3Eenhancement%2Cneeds%3Atriage&template=feature-request.md)

As cumulative sum is a relatively cheap calculation, another option would be to use vega ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-graph.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-graph.html)) and doing the postprocessing directly in the chart - there's a steep learning curve though.
