I want timestamp on x axis and indi\_value value on y axis.how can I do this in line art visualization.

I want all document values to be plotted on graph.And my timestamp type is string and indi\_value is number is that okay.

Kibana visualizations don't use individual document values, they always show an aggregation of your data. If you put a date histogram on the x-axis it creates buckets with a set time interval. The value on the y-axis must some how combine all the documents that fall into each bucket. You can do this with various metric aggregations like `min`, `max`, `avg`, `sum`. The closest you can get to graphing individual values is using the `top hit` metric which can select an individual document from each bucket, but then you're ignoring all the other values in that bucket.
