I have a very obvious need: computing a ratio between 2 time series. What I want is that kibana filters (of my dahsboard) only apply on one of the 2 series. I did the following simple test : es(index='myindex', q='\_type:myDocType', timefield='myDateField', kibana='false') Then I added some filters in my dahsboard. Each time filters have an effect on my timelion chart... I tried different syntaxes: kibana='False', kibana=false... no change. Can anyone help me? Is this feature really implemented? (currenly running Kibana 4,6,2) Thanks in advance P. ---

I did the test with 5.3.2 stack, and that's the same. Changing kibana flag does not have any impact ☹ ---

> Can anyone help me? Is this feature really implemented? I just tried this in a 6.0.0 pre-release, and I see the same thing. It's likely a bug in Timelion. I encourage you to open an issue with the information you posted here in the Kibana repo at [Issues · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues). ---

false should be all lower case and not be quoted, though the OP says they tried that. I just double checked and it seems to behave as expected. As you can see, the chart in the top right does not change. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/1/a1bcdeeb6eab5e68d4b6149ce371c4e0049de481.gif) ---

Yeah, sure enough, it's working for me as well. Apparently I set it up wrong originally, I forgot to add `kibana=false` ☹ Here, the TImelion graph on the top lacks the setting, the bottom one is set, and you can see it does not react to the query that is applied. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/f/1f059e36867ae81460dc93bba108e963d490d601.gif) ---

Yes kibana=false is the right syntax 🙂 I reached the same conclusion yesterday but too late to post it Many thanks for your help. ---
