I have made a vertical bar graph in Kibana and all seemed to be good at first. However, when I was checking the values against the buckets I found some issues. The Sum being displayed is incorrect for 8/10 buckets. So for example, bucket 8 shows a sum of $1200 on the bar graph, but the actual value is around $700. When bucket 8 is clicked to filter the dashboard it displays the correct amount.

I checked the dev console to try to find the issue and discovered that only 19/28 documents are being read in. I believe that it is skipping over data stored in certain shards.

Can I fix this in the visualization/settings or do I need to manually assign fields to certain shards? If the latter is my only option, what is the safest way to go about doing so?

On the visualization, can you click the carrot on the bottom to expand the panel and paste the response?
