Hi,  
I played with kibana for the past 5 days but I'm unable to find how to do what I want, I'm starting to think that it's not possible

I have a huge log file that look like data

A logstash forwarder is sending it to logstash and logstash is feeding it to Elasticsearch.  
My logstash is configured this way :

> [@](#):
>
> ```
> multiline {
> pattern => "^%{GREEDYDATA}.%{GREEDYDATA}.%{GREEDYDATA}Exception:"
> what => "previous"
> }
> 
> grok {
> 
> match => [
> #general
> "message", "<(?<log_date>%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601})> <%{GREEDYDATA:sender}> <%{GREEDYDATA:level}> <%{GREEDYDATA:class}> <%{GREEDYDATA:id}> <%{GREEDYDATA:msg}>",
> #general stacktrace
> "message","<(?<log_date>%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601})%{GREEDYDATA:sender}>%{GREEDYDATA:stacktrace}"
> ]
> }
> 
> date {
> match => ["log_date","YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"]
> target => "log_date"
> }  
> 
> ```

I'm interested in 3 lines of log  
1 : msg = Sending to ELK  
2 : msg = ELK failure - rejected  
3 : msg = ELK failure due to us

I find them by searching for msg:"Sending to ELK" for example

So what I want to do is display a line graph with log\_date on the x axis and this on the y axis :  
(CountMsg1-(CountMsg2+CountMsg3))/(CountMsg1/100)

However in visualise it looks like I can only do one search, not multiple ones and not math operation.

Did I miss something?

Thanks

Nope, you can't do it this way yet.  
You may be able to with a scripted field though.
