I am using a version lower than 7.4 and most metrics (all but count) do not show any data in the diagram. I am working with Kibana (and ELK) 7.5. Any suggestions? Sample working query: `.es(index=jos_data*, timefield=@timestamp, metric=count)` Sample query not working: `.es(index=jos_data*, timefield=@timestamp, metric=avg:message.payload.severity)` ---

Is the field message.payload.severity field a numeric one? Otherwise it won't display any data. ---

Yes, it is. I can do sum but not avg ---

Can you post a screenshot of it? ---

@Marius_Dragomir, absolutely. You can see here that message.payload.severity is a number: ![sum severity](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/6/c6fb824644b23d736063950e93a3c1030240119f.png) and if I use `sum` it works just fine, as you can see in the graph: ![sum severity graph](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/3/43c0aad069b68e8100f298ae53d5a8a5b0ea4dec.png) But when I use `avg`, the graph does not show and it sets itself into a y-range with nothing showing: ![avg severity](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/7/b725e5a0d7c73eddbe6c5fc8d2948f6dd2a8138c.png) ![avg severity graph](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/8/78eec05e4077c7ab35e50a31e8506081852da4cd.png) ---
