Hi,
I am using a ELK stack for log processing. One of the problem I am facing
with kibana is that, I have some fields in my log whose values is zero, and
zero is considered as legitimate value in my case. But when I plot those
fields in kibana, if zero field is enabled it plots zero in the graph
including the gaps. But I dont want to plot the zero values in the gaps, I
just want to plot my actual log values in the graph, but kibana doent seem
to be able to do that. Am I going anywhere wrong or is kibana really not
able to visualize that.?
Thank you,
Shriyansh

This was just answered on your post to the LS list, but you can set zero
fill under panel settings.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply back. I am aware of the zero fill settings in
kibana.
But my problem is I have some log values which are zero at particular
timestamp and don't have any values at some timestamp. So if I select zero
fill it plots zero for both the actual zero values and the values where
there are gaps.
I want to plot the values where I am actually getting zero and plot nothing
where I have gaps. Is that possible .?
Thank you,
Shriyansh
