I am new to Kibana

I need to create a graph to show the two below:

A graph showing a Cumulative total of files each day (split by hour)

Also on the same graph a count of files each day (split by hour)

this should auto update and move to the next day accordingly

Sounds like you'll just need to use the "cumulative sum" metric for one and the "count" metric for the other:

Then, for the x-axis, you'll want to do a date histogram and select "hourly" as the interval.
