Hello,
In a Kibana 3 Text panel, is it possible to display the number of lines?
My use case is that I want to display a table with unique IDs extracted
from log entries, and display the number of these unique IDs.
Thanks,

number of lines where? you can always show a Count facet that will count
the number of results of a query

#### Post date: [June 5, 2014, 7:15am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-3-display-the-number-of-items-in-a-text-panel/17901/3 "2014-06-05T07:15:25Z")
Here I'm looking for the number of distinct string values for a certain
field. Say for instance that the log contains the following records:
{ ... "user\_id": "joe" ...}
{ ... "user\_id": "mike" ...}
{ ... "user\_id": "joe" ...}
{ ... "user\_id": "sarah" ...}
{ ... "user\_id": "sarah" ...}
I'd like to be able to display the count 3 for user\_id, because user\_id has
three distinct values ("joe", "mike" and "sarah").
Using a Text panel I am able to _list_ these values in a table, but not to
display their count (i.e., the number of rows in the table).
Hope this is clearer.
