We use timelion to use both lines and points with show=true:  
.points(show=true).lines(show=true)

We do see both lines and points most of the time... however, when zoom in closer, we only see points. not sure when kibana decides to connect the dots and when not... Can you explain why lines sometimes do not connect?

Hello Joseph,

I only see this behavior when I zoom in far enough to only see a single point. Assuming that's the issue you're seeing, we do have a [github issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/13778) for it that's open for discussion.

Regards,  
Aaron

Thank you @Aaron_Caldwell  
This is what i see. I can see individual points (not a single point)
