Hi, I have created in Visual Builder chart. I just want count all events in my selected time range. My time range is last 5 minutes. But when I change chart from Time series to Metric, it doesn't shows count of all values = 9 but just 0. Why?

Yes, metric is just showing the last value in that case. There is another aggregation you can add `Cumulative Sum` and then select your first aggregation `Count` so that it knows what to aggregate. This should give you the total over your time span.

Ah! Thank you! I thought it's the same way as in Kibana charts.

One question. What exactly is "the last value in that case". Is it the value from last event? What if in the same time, I will receive two events? Will it sum it up?
