I have indexes and one of the field is duration, which has the values like 20,100,97,60,140 etc...

How can i map this filed(duration) to Y-axis in kibana bar chart? so that Y-Axis will have my duration values as markers.

I am using ELK 6.3.x

Any help would be appreciated!.

What are you hoping to use for your X-Axis? In Kibana, the Y-Axis corresponds to the metrics and the X-Axis corresponds to the buckets. There isn't any way currently to reverse these.

I want to show the average time duration(a field my index) of my transactions on Y-axis and the required buckets on the X-axis.
