Hi All, I am totally new in Kibana so my question might be dumb. In my Kibana Dashboard I see graph of my http requests/responses (Users, Total Processed, Request Rate,...). It also shows "Processed Prediction Bytes". How can I create those graphs not based on number of Bytes but number of Lines per content? It shows my " **request\_length"** but I want to know number of lines per request.

Thanks

Hi @homius,

The best probably would be to ingest your data into Elasticsearch so it had `number_of_lines` property along with `request_length` and then use it to build your visualizations.

If you can't change how you index your data, then you could try [Kibana's Scripted fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html)
