I would like to visualize this graph x-axis as percentage and y-axis as latency with an interval of 100 but the plot is coming in a straight line Please help me to resolve the problem ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/d/5d917d15037667a1c020b5dc2ab189a31285cd32.png) ![x%20axis](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/a/dab2d13f3dccdcd02d0f1a75e1de0d59fea33bb1.png) ![y-axis](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/b/4bf3ccf6bc342494677b423a0e0d8a96a72b94d9.png) ---

It looks like you have specified "Split Series" instead of what you would like the X-Axis to be. Try this: - Click the red "X" to the right of the "Split Series" panel - Click "X-Axis" under the "Buckets" options - Specify how you would like to calculate the x-axis data ---

Thanks for your reply. I have attached my intended graph but I would like to have y-axis in percentage mode. ![intended%20graph](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/7/47ca0c63de718d6f309678684e2d9c493f2c0851.png) ![i-graph-x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/8/a8eb7324e781956818b620b15eb5f682f9b469ac.png) ![i-graph-y](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/b/0b9f83e305a73d2bf494746b8445f3f6110dddcd.png) ![i-graph-y-normal](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/e/3efb2c5c4ba7441191aee8b0e29e17508fb5a559.png) When I changed to the y-axis in percentage mode but I get this graph as you instructed and it doesn't help me. ![i-graph-y-percentage](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/2/72fbd4d16b220367316f71804cbdba6315955518.png) ![latency-percent](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/f/6ffcbdbc60891534a9b4800b501914806dd1d357.png) I'm looking forward to your answers. ---

Hi there, If you're using "percentage" mode with a single series, it will always be 100% because it is graphing each series as a % of the whole. If you just want to know what each series is as a % of the whole, I think what you may want is to set Y-Axis to use the "Count" aggregation instead of "Cumulative Sum" and then use percentage mode. You'll need to add back the "Split Series" again by clicking on the "Add sub-buckets" button. When looking at latency distributions, it's often useful to use histograms and percentiles rather than % of the whole. My favorite view is a histogram which gives you a holistic view of how the system is performing. You can create this with a "Count" Y-Axis and a "Histogram" X-Axis on the latency field. Here are some posts from our blog about visualizing this type of information: - [https://www.elastic.co/blog/averages-can-dangerous-use-percentile](https://www.elastic.co/blog/averages-can-dangerous-use-percentile) - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/metric-chart.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/metric-chart.html) ---
