Hi I am Rohini,

I am using Elastic search and kibana for the past three months. It's really amazing and cool.

I am implementing forecasting part in Kibana.

I have time series data which it has (Date and values) in it and my aim is to do forecasting in the time series through kibana.

So, in kibana =\> MachineLearning =\> single metric job, I inserted my time series data and I am not able to forecast for the next weeks.

I am getting only a single yellow line in kibana, that's so frustrated me, I want to see the series (Curves) in it.

I tried with nearly

So, Am I doing something wrong? or should I need to do payment or subscriptions?

You haven't provided enough historical data in order for the ML models to learn the "curves" (the periodic behavior) of the data. I would recommend at least 3-4 weeks. For example:
