I'm trying to use TSVB to show a list of the most common alerts in my system. If I do a search in Discovery, I get three documents with my settings.

If I use Top N and do a Count Aggregation with a term grouping, I get all documents from the index within the selected time frame.

But I need to do some filtering to show just the alerts and not all status messages etc in the index. Therefore, I used Panel Filter \_type:elastalert to filer out the unwanted, just like in the Discovery tab.
But with the filtering, I only get a count of 1, even though it should be 3. Why?

If I look at the documents, they are identical, except for ID's and timestamps.

It's showing the last bucket and not the count for the entire time period. You would need to add an "overall sum" to see all three.
