Hi there,
I am evaluating ELK-stack for a few weeks now and i am becoming more and more enthusiastic about its possibilities! As we mostly log events with logstash i wondered if you guys have been looking at ways to visualize the duration between different events in a process?
For example looking at the purchase process we have lots of purchase orders with different leadtimes.
the data contains e.g. event1= purchase order, event2=receipt, event3=invoice
I would like to visualize for a whole bunch of purchase orders the lead time between purchase order, receipt and invoice.
Examples:
I've been playing with process mining (e.g. with PROM-tool) and found that the DOTTED CHART is a very powerfull way to explore lead-times.

For the hospital i am currently working for i created the [dotted chart cognos](http://mijnpictures.blogspot.nl/2014/05/visualizing-processing-time-using.html) with cognos:
Are there ways to do this with kibana? or are there any plans to create such a visual?
regards,
Daan Blinde

We call it the Elastic Stack these days, otherwise Beats doesn't fit in 😉
There's currently no way to do this, there is probably a feature request to have it added though, you can probably find it here - [Issues · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
