Hi All,
I am very new to the kibana commuity. I have an issue representing data in time series. It would be really helpful if someone can guide me through it.
I have an use case where I need to show top 5 categories across a date range say oct 12 to oct 22 aggregated by count of tweets. But the date range option shows only one dot for the each category in the range. I want the top 5 categories with their values spread across like a line or time series.
I tried the date histogram option , but it shows the top 5 categories in each date of the range, which is not what i want. I have attached a screenshot of my viz for reference.
Regards,
Nanda

As for your question:
- make sure that your index in ES has date-fields.
- in Kibana, you can select the "Date Histogram" option for those Date-fields. That allows you to see your data over time.
- then you can select a new sub-bucket where you "split lines"
your configuration would look something like this:
You might also want to go to a short getting-started tutorial that shows how to map date-fields and create charts with Kibana: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html
I'm closing this ticket now. But if you have follow up questions or comments, feel free to submit them in the forum.
