Hi,

I am using timelion. Sometimes I have the problem, that I got no data available in the time series. Then the timelion panel stays completely emtpy.  
Meaning, neither title nor labels are shown.

How can I solve / workaround this issue?

I am using plain timelion, not as timelion panel in a normal kibana dashboard.

Kibana 5.1.2

Thanks Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I am not sure what you are trying to solve here? Can you please attach a screenshot so I can be sure?

Thanks,

my problem is, that the whole panel is empty.

I would like to see at least one of the following:

- the title which is configured in the timelion query
- the legend showing the label of the of the graph. Its ok that the graph is not shown, if there is no data.

or can I set a default for a graph? setting to 0 or -1 if no data is present in the whole interval?
