My index data:

> Item: Book, count: 1, time: ...  
> Item: Car, count: 2, time: ...  
> Item: Car, count: 3, time: ...  
> Item: Book, count: 5, time: ...  
> Item: Cat, count: 2, time: ...  
> Item: Car, count: 7, time: ...

I want to plot a chart using time as x axis and **count** as y axis with only **Car** value of Item field.

Can kibana do this without change my index data structure or other better way to this.

Hi there,

make a simple chart visualization (TSVB, Line, Area) and filter (in the Search Bar for Area and Line or in the Panel Option\>Filter in the TSVB) by `item:Car`.

Am I missing something?
