what is the correct approach to draw count of events (showing maximum events/seconds)

I am trying to create visualisation (see picture below)  
show graf with maximum events/seconds  
Kibana is automatically scale @timestamp interval from 1sec to 1minute, i have to zoom in to see correct values. But zoomed in graph is not what I want .

I was trying to use max bucket aggregation but it seems does not fit my case. (see picture below)

histogram over few days

Hello,

So your max events of "which field" on y-axis(metric aggregation) can be mapped over data histogram in x-axis.

I can't see what value you are using for x-axis buckets.

Thanks,  
Bhavya

Thank you,  
What would be the right approach to create a visualization having  
max counts in seconds over large period of time.  
Doing it as you wrote Kibana always autoscale the time buckets and I do not have counts per seconds but count per minute or hour.
