Hi

I would like to draw a graph to see the sum of number of active Jobs across hourly time interval. From the sample below, it shows that there are 5 ES documents, with 3 fields, “name”, “StartTime” and “EndTime”. The period between start time and end time means the active period of the job.

And I want to create a graph in kibana or timelion, that can show me number of active job that looks like the graph below with the two timestamps that have been provided below. I still haven't be able to find a way to use those two timestamps to span across different time interval below.
