I tried to draw a graph "Bandwidth usage of top five countries over time" using the logs captured from apache servers.

X-Axis -@timestamp per minute - I guess this means to create the buckets based on "minutes" - Am i right ?

How can i see the bandwidth usage of top 5 countries at certain minute by mouse hovering the graph - as you in the image , it is showing only the top country at that moment ?

Y- Axis - Currently it is showing as number of bytes - Is there anyway to show this scaled to MB or GB ?

Yes.

Right, because it's calculating the top 5 for _that_ minute.

You can create a scripted field to calculate it, but it's not anything Kibana currently does natively.

Do you want the top 5 over all time?

I guess the image ( which is black color on mouse over) shows the bandwidth _per coutnry_ as it is obvious from the image that - 54306753 bytes consumed by Republic of Lituabnia at 12:44 - Ami right ? Or it the number is for all 5 countries at that moment?

If it not for 5 countires - how can i see the number for top 5 countires at 12:44 ?

Do you have an example for the same

Ok, how can i see the numbers for top 5 countries at 12:44 instead of top country ?
