Hi all,

I want to visualize a simple integer field.

For e.g. my data is as below:

Number, Count  
1,20  
2,30,  
3,50

I want to plot a line graph with x-axis as 1,2,3 and corresponding y-axis as 20,30,50

Note: I tried with unique count/max/min etc but that is not what I want. In each case, it gives me the unique count of "Count" in my case, but not the actual value of the "Count" itself.

Count is an integer.

Please help.

I posted this data in Kibana dev tools Console;

```auto
POST test4/test
{
  "number": 1,
    "count": 20
}
POST test4/test
{
  "number": 2,
    "count": 30
}
POST test4/test
{
  "number": 3,
    "count": 50
}

```

I created an index pattern for that `test4` data.

I created a new Visualization, selected Line Graph, and my test4 index pattern.

(NOTE: there might be more than one way to get a graph that looks like this)

I changed the metrics section from Count to Max of the Field "count".

I set the X-Axis bucket to Histogram with Field "number" and interval of 1.

Hope this helps.
