Hello, Why model bounds is not available? I cannot figure out the reason and the documentation does not mention this case

Hi!

Yes, model bounds are not enabled by default for multi-metric jobs since there is overhead associated with tracking the model boundaries in the index and it could be non-trivial on a job with a high cardinality field being the partition (split). If your cardinality is \<100, for example, you might be alright. You have to add the following JSON to the job config (clone the job and go to the Edit JSON tab) just after the `analysis_config` section and paste the following:

```auto
  "model_plot_config" :{
    "enabled" : "true"
  },

```

This solved my issue.

It would be great if there was an explanation in kibana (tooltip or whatever)

thank's Rich
