Hello,

I Have installed ELK-5.4.0 and tried to build timelion graphs in our kibana based on the data we collected.

our data is in bytes format and we converted it to KB,MB,GB (management-\>index patterns-\>selected the field name -\> changed the format )

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/e/ce675279e95bbcfde82719d1a9abaf392e79ffd0.png)

but in timelion graph we are not able to see the data in KB's we are able to see them only in bytes,  
the same problem even withe the time values that is, our data is present in milliseconds but we need to make it readable as make it visible as min....

example of data shown in bytes... even after converting the data values

Timelion doesn't actually use the field formatters you've set up. If you want the values in another format (KB, MB, GB, for example), you'll have to do that as part of the expression.
