Hi,
in my document I have a JSON `metrics` field like that:
```auto
{
"task": "task1",
"size": 2048
},
{
"task": "task2",
"size": 1000
}
```
As Buckets I have another field called `number` (lets say `number: 1, 2`)
A field `number` can have different `tasks` with a corresponding `size`.
Is it possible to Display that in one Visualization? I can not figure out the correct Metrics Aggregation for that.
I have already set the buckets correctly by `metrics.task.keyword`, but in the moment I am using the `max` Aggregation, which returns me just the highest `size` in the document.
What I actually need is the `size` for the `task` in the correct JSON block.
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that your documents contain an array of tasks, such as:
```auto
{
number: 1
tasks: [{ ... }, { ... }]
}
```
If so, then you can't build this visualization using the standard tools in Kibana- it is only possible to build using Vega. This is because [array types are not supported in Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/array.html), and Kibana built-in tools don't support the `nested` mapping which would otherwise be a good workaround.
So you have two options here:
1. Change the way your documents are organized. Instead of having an array of tasks, create a separate document for each task- this can be visualized.
2. [Use Vega](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-lite-tutorial-create-your-first-visualizations.html), which is fully custom

Thanks for quick reply!
I have not an array of tasks, but something like this.
```auto
{
"task": "task_1",
"percent": 20,
"size": 2048,
"used": 604
},
{
"task": "task2",
"percent": 10,
"size": 200,
"used": 212
},
{
"task": "task3",
"percent": 6.8,
"size": 4050,
"used": 140
},
.....
```
This is how my `metrics` field looks like.
Is it even like that not possible? (Without Vega) 🙂

Is each task a separate document? And what type of visualization would you want?

1. The tasks are collected in one document.
2. I would like to use a line Graph.
Above I just copied the fields ( `metrics` ) values (in JSON format)

Okay, so if they are collected in a single document then you must use Vega. If you split these tasks into separate documents, you could build this visualization using any of the line charts in Kibana.
