I use a bar graph which shows the counts of a series of different events (counting how many events of a given type there are).

The events analyzed in Kibana are actually a representative sample of actual events. This means that my count of, say, 150 does not reflect the reality: if I sample 50% of all events, the actual count for 150 should be either 300, or 50%.

Is there a way to influence what is displayed on the X-axis (the `Count` axis) by translating / modifying the numbers though a function?  
In other words, instead of displaying `n` I would like to display `n*2` and absolute extrapolated number), or `300/n*100` (an extrapolated percentage).

Hello,

This should be achievable using scripted fields. Follow the link in this similar issue:

I would like to map the UUID to the Document name in elastic for the visualization. is there a way to achieve this? one solution to this problem would be logging the document name with the UUID in the application, but I was hoping for a way to do this within the ELK stack.

Regards,
