In SumoLogic we created a visualization that took an average of all the execution times and filtered out the top 10%, so you could see a truer average of processtime rather than a couple of outliers creating spikes. The where part of our query looked like -  
| pct(executiontime,90) by \_timeslice, processtype

I can't figure out how to get the same results in Kibana. Any thoughts?

Hey @Alan_Home, this isn't possible currently using the "standard" Visualizations in Kibana. Implementing this would require two calls to Elasticsearch, one to calculate the [90th percentile](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics-percentile-aggregation.html) and then another query to calculate the average, but excluding all values that are above this limit.

It's theoretically possible for you to create this yourself using [Vega](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-graph.html) but it's a rather heavy lift. It'd be great to also capture this requirement in a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) so we can address it more holistically.
