Hello all,

I've started playing around with Kibana4 and the use of scripted fields to  
generate fields such as \*timestamp.\_hourOfDay. \*I've been trying to  
generate a Histogram visualization that will show me the the top 5 most  
popular event types during each hour of the day. However, when I set the  
size of the Terms sub-aggregation to 4 or greater the X-axis begins with  
Hour 9 instead of Hour 0. Here's what it looks like with Terms size set to  
5:

And here's what it looks like with Terms size set to 3:

This behavior occurs in both the Line Chart and Vertical Bar Chart, but not  
in the Pie Chart. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong/how to  
go about fixing this?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Al
