Hi,

I am trying to create a visualization using timelion in kibana. Somehow, I am able to create the points in the graph, but unfortunately not able to join them. Is there any function available where i can connect the points to draw the line.  
Can someone help to join red/green dots to draw a line. ?

What does your timeline query look like? Depending on the query, the following may help:

Use `.lines(show=true)`:

> Hi @elasticcloud, showing both lines and dots should be possible by setting the show=true as in .points(show=true).lines(show=true)

Use `.fit(average)`:

Hi Jen,

Thanks for the reply. I tried using .lines(show=true).fit(average).With this added to my lucene query, the lines are drawn, but somehow line is also plotted for the zero values  
I just want to join the points where value = 20 and not zero.

Is there any way to avoid timestamp while plotting the line?

issue got resolved by selecting interval 1d in the visualization, the line graph is now plotting datewise instead of timestamp
