I am trying to add below es function into timelion.

`.es(q="component:test-posting", index=method_execution_statistics-*, timefield='@timestamp', metric='count').label('Total Postings Calls'), .es(q='component:test-posting', index=method_execution_statistics-*, timefield='@timestamp', metric='avg:duration').label('Average Postings Duration')`

q='component:test-posting' is not filtering that showing same data it would show without it'

Please assist

Which version of Kibana are you running? Do you see similar behavior when you enter `component:test-posting` into the Search bar in the Discover tab in Kibana?
