hi ,  
I have number of devices which I healthcheck every x minutes  
I would like to use timelion and to show data based on the device and in the same chart show date of two devices  
this one works prefectly for one device :

`.es(index=ssl*, metric='max:spcpumax').label('spcpu Max')`

but I would like now to to do it based on the fieeld device\_id as unique device :

for 2 devices two lines (each represent another device )  
for 3 devices  
for N devices the same with me hardcoded doing that  
from what i read I can use split and cardinality but I failing to do so , can anyone advise ?

I believe `split` is what you're looking for.

`.es(index=ssl*, metric='max:spcpumax', split='device_id:100')`

your solution is 99% correct 🙂  
I am using kibana 5.6.3 and from what i read and used Ineed to use

> .keyword

like this :

> _.es(index=ssl, metric='max:spcpumax', split='device\_id.keyword:100')_

and it solves my issue , thanks a lot .
