Hey, I don't understand the Markers in the Histogram Settings in Kibana/Marvel. How often will the marker be drawn in the diagram (I always get only one marker with a "Top 5 of {Limit} events" tooltip)? Can I control the position of the marker somehow? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

In Marvel, the marker is drawn whenever there is an "interesting" cluster event happening - like a node is joining/leaving, cluster status changing to red/yellow/green, etc. The horizontal position of the marker is based on the exact time/date that the event was recorded. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks, I didn't know that. But where are the markers set in my custom histograms in Kibana?

If you just have plain Kibana, you can Configure your histogram, under tab Queries, section Markers. Then in there you define your marker query and the field to be displayed in the marker. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
