Hi

how do it get the kibana graphs to give me proper mb/s readings?

when i use "SUM" as y axis aggregation the measure is ok, but when i use "Average" i get the KB amounts shown. its as if the kibana does not perform the needed division and change the lettering from kb to MB - as it does correctly when i choose "SUM"

also if anyone has input to get a good NOC dashboard in the latest kibana from netflow please share you visualization configs/setop

Have you tried using [field formatters](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-4-1-field-formatters).

You can set your bytes field to display KB, MB, etc.

Kibana does as far as I know currently not support normalising against the aggregation time interval, although this is available in Timelion through the scale\_interval function. If I have understood what you are looking for correctly, I believe there is an [issue tracking this type of functionality](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4646) open on GitHub.
