Kibana Metric with simple query

[hugohendriks (Hugo)]

Hi,

Í am trying to get a simple metric visualization going by making a Metric, with a count aggregation and then selecting a filter in wich I set the query...something like:

operation : Validatie* and httpresponse : 500

But that gives me a different number then when I input the query in discovery mode. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

best regards,
Hugo

@hugohendriks
Are you using the search bar or the filter bar? Or search bar for one and filter bar for the other?

In the explorer view, I am using the search bar at the top. In my visualization I am using 1 filter

A better approach to achieve your goal is to use the filter bar vs the filters aggregation: also should run faster.

In the GIF below, you can see me create a metric, apply a filter, save the visualization, then load it into a dashboard. Notice that the filter was saved with the metric and shows the filtered number even on the dashboard that has no filters or searches applied.

Hi Mike,

That did the trick. Thanks a bunch!
