Using Kibana3 to graph a trend, is it possible?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi guys,

We're using Kibana3 (latest version) in XWiki
(http://activeinstalls.xwiki.org/kibana/#/dashboard/elasticsearch/XWiki%20Installs)
to measure installs of XWiki. Every day a running XWiki instance will send
a ping to our ElasticSearch server thus allowing us to measure active
instances of XWiki in the wild.

I'm very new at Kibana and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to
display a graph of active installs over time. By active, I mean the count
of all installs received over a 2 days period. Thus I'd like to have a
graph over time of a count of installs of every 2 days.

Is this possible with Kibana?

FTR here's the data each install is pushing to our ES server:

{
"_index": "installs",
"_type": "install",
"_id": "24aa62b4-cf43-4996-b026-ad61f4671d26",
"_score": 1.9225419,
"_source": {
"distributionId": "org.xwiki.enterprise:xwiki-enterprise-web",
"formatVersion": "1.0",
"distributionVersion": "5.2",
"date": "2013-12-03T23:17:34.393Z",
"extensions": []
}
}

Thanks a lot for any pointer!

Sure, first Configure Dashboard (upper right gear), and make sure Index
settings point (cover) your index. Timepicker time field: date

Add a Histogram Panel to your dashboard. In the Panel settings:

Chart Value: count
Time Field: date
Auto Interval: uncheck
Interval: 2d

If it's not showing any data, click the i(nspect) icon on the panel to
debug the query sent to ES and check it to see if it is what you expect.

Thanks but this will not day what I need. I need the sum of all 2 days
counts from the beginning (the whole period).

AFAIU there's no way of doing this and I need to compute that sum on the
client side...

Thanks
