Vega plot y-axis "undefined"

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi all,

I'm trying to plot a simple horizontal bar chart using vega in Kibana after transforming the original index using a groupby aggregate. It appears the plotting doesn't work and the y-axis scale ends up as "undefined". x-axis seems to populate the data from the aggregate sum field.
The transformation itself works and I could see data in data_set_02 using VIEW_DEBUG.view('data_set_02'). Any pointers to debug this will be really helpful or please let me know if there is anything missing in the vega code. Thanks.

dataplatform,

This should be easy to fix. Just add a project transform before your aggregate. For some odd reason, scales and marks don't like seeing a '.' in the field names. Something like this should do:

{
 name: "data_set_02"
 source: "data_set_01",
 transform: [
   {"type": "project", "fields": ["_source.id_col", "_source.value_col"], "as": ["id_col", "value"]},
   {"type": "aggregate", "groupby": ["id_col"], "ops": ["sum"], "fields": ["value"], "as": ["value_sum"]}
 ]
}

That should do the trick. Let me know if that works for you!
