Hello,

i transfered a log into logstash.  
in this log, there is a number.

with the filter, i make a field and there i save the number.  
And now i want Kibana to show just these Number.

i don't need a aggegation, how can i do this?  
it is posssible?

the target is:  
x-axis should be Date histogram  
y-axis the number

Thank You for your help  
Stefan

An Average Metric? Provided that you use a small-enough interval.

Another option is to develop a custom vis. It's not so hard.

Let me know if you need a hand with that.

Thanks for the reply.

But i had a solution for my problem,  
all is fine, it works now.

Just for Info:

- i transferred data to logstash
- in logstash i grok the message, so i got field and value
- my problem was, that the value was a string (you can nothing do with a string on the y-axis)
- so i convert the value to an integer
- and now i can use the value as i want

🙂
