Hello,

I made a few adjustments to the keywords by which I am partitioning the data on using painless. I am able to see the results through the anomaly explorer however I am unable to access the single metric viewer (it is greyed out and cannot be clicked on). The error is below:

"Requested job random\_job cannot be viewed in this dashboard, auto selecting first job"

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thank you in advance.

This is a known limitation for the ML single metric viewer when scripts are used in the datafeed. The workaround would be to manually create a dashboard and then link it to the ML job using the [custom urls](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.x/ml-configuring-url.html) feature.
