Greetings!

Is there any possibility to create pareto chart in Kibana (v.6.5.1)?

Thank you.

I think that should be easily doable with Timelion, as you can combine a source using `.bars()` with a source using `.line()`, and you can use `.cusum()` to get a cumulative sum over time.

As a very simple sample (without any filtering, just using the count of all data):

```auto
.es(*).bars().color(green).add(200)
,.es(*).lines(steps=true,width=1).color(red).cusum().yaxis(yaxis=2,position=right)

```

Hi @BennyInc @warkolm, Thanks for your replying.  
@BennyInc ,I really appreciate the suggestion and guidance given.

I would like to create a pareto chart with showing:  
**x** -axis is the **contents of a field** & **_right_ y** -axis is the **cumulative percentage**.  
For example, ![18%20June](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/4/242ea01e84f3325cacac2ed8e210413a6d2ddb2a.jpeg)

Kindly advise on the method to achieve this . Thank you.

Ah, that won't work with Timelion - time-based data only.  
You can try using Vega or Canvas to achieve this, but I haven't used them extensively yet.
