Hi All,

I just deployed the latest stable release of ES 5.1.1.  
Can i do timeseries forecast with the new version using Timelion.  
Or is this a feature yet to be released?

Thanks  
Anil Varghese

Moved to #kibana

You can probably use holt:

But as written in the help:

> Sample the beginning of a series and use it to forecast what should happen via several optional parameters. In general, like everything, **this is crappy at predicting the future**. You're much better off using it to predict what should be happening right now, for the purpose of anomaly detection. Note that nulls will be filled with forecasted values. Deal with it.
