Hello,

I am using Kibana v 7.6.2 to visualize some log data.

I have a problem when analysing data of decimal number values between 0 and 1.  
e.g. 0, 0, 0.163, 0.037, 0.164, 0.25, 0.202, 0

I tried visualizing the data in a histogram, but all entries are in one bar at 0.  
Even if I try to reduce the interval to 0.1 or 0.01 the problem remains.

Then I tried to just display simple metrics like maxium or average of the values, which is also all displayed as 0.

Do I have to change the granularity for this somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi, would you mind going to the Dev Tools console and check which [numeric type](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/number.html) the field you are trying to visualize is?

Thank you for the tip!

The field was of type long.  
I did not find a way to change the type.  
So I had to delete all data again and load it in new.  
Because I use Logstash anyways I simply cast the field value to float in my Logstash pipeline.
