Hello, ES Community! I'm using Kibana tools, Timelion specifically, for build visualization of time dependent information as time series. I would like to measure the time difference between two adjacent peaks in my plot. I looked into Kibana documentation but I couldn't find any function to do it. How could I get these measurements? Best Regards ---

I don't think any of the visualizations in Kibana will help you do this kind of calculation easily, because defining "peaks" is not a generally available concept. We generally recommend that you process your documents before visualizing, so if you want to calculate differences between documents that would be done during processing. ---
