Using for RSSI values whereas negative numbers are worse than positive. So I want -80 to be at the top, not the bottom. Any easy way to flip the values?

Welcome to our community! 😃

It's not really clear what you are asking here, or how you are getting this from Elasticsearch.

Thanks for the response. On the y axis it goes from 0 to -80. -80 is at the bottom and I want that at the top. In my case -80 is a worse value and I want it represented as such. It won’t let me set the range that way. The error says -80 must be greater than 0.

Elasticsearch doesn't have an x-axis, so do you mean Kibana?

First day using it. Piping data from a networking product and creating visualizations. Didn’t know Kibana was the engine that creates the graphs. So I guess yes.

Understand, can you maybe show us a screenshot of the graphing product you are using so we can confirm?

Yep, thanks. That's Kibana. Let me move this to that category.
