Hello Kibana users! Can anyone suggest me how can I represent numeric values on a timeline?he fields I'm referrering to are @timestamp and used.bytes; I want to see the distribution of this field over time. thank you in advance! ---

Hi Something like this? When using Lens this should be simple (drag and drop the field to the area in the middle ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-06-08 um 07.33.43](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/0/a0b6b7ad1b3510408d2d42a3da8c41c8dcab6fe9.jpeg) ) ---

Hi @matw, thank you for your reply. The examples Lens proposes me are based on the median or other math functions. I would like to represent the numeric value as it is, "without any metric" if it's possible... ---

So you want something like a scatterplot visualization? > **[Scatterplot in Kibana using Vega](https://www.timroes.de/kibana-vega-scatterplot)** > > Tutorial on how to use Kibana's Vega visualization to create a scatter plot in > Kibana. Best, Matthias ---

Thank you for the suggestion @matw ! The scatterplot visualization is very impressive! It vould be ok also a line chart where, on x axis represents the timestamp and the y axes represents the numeric values; in this way, for example, I can see at a glance that at 9:00 am 35 bytes have been used, at 9:05 am 40, etc... Is it possible to create something like this, not necessairly chosing a metric? ---

so if at 9:00 there are multiple document, like 35 bytes, 75 bytes , ... how should it look like? it should not be summed up? ---

I know I'll have one document per minute, so my plan is to set the time interval on the x axes at 1m ---
