After updating to 6.2.1, my load chart started rounding to whole numbers.

I took a hint from this post:

> [@Fields values under Metrics Aggregations were rounding to zero in Kibana Line Charts](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/fields-values-under-metrics-aggregations-were-rounding-to-zero-in-kibana-line-charts/113607/4):

> You can use a field-formatter to format your values. under your index-pattern, choose the field and select the format. You could specify a format for your numbers specifically: You can also select String, and then show the raw value.

And it seems that the default formatting includes a comma:  
Numeral.js format pattern (Default: "0,0.[000]")

When I set the format to number AND remove that comma, the data visualizes without rounding.

I would consider this a workaround for a bug.  
Shouldn't the system work properly with the defaults?

Can anyone confirm that it indeed the comma that is causing the rounding? (Even though none of my load values was over 1,000) ?

Hi,

Yep. It's the comma that is causing the rounding.  
Can you please raise an issue here? I will ask our viz team to take a look at it.
