Hi,

I have set of call records with columns - start\_time, end\_time and number.  
I want to create any graph with each distinct number on x-axis and y-axis displaying the start to end time .  
Can someone help me in achieving this.

Thanks  
Arjun

Hi @Arjun,

for this, you will likely have to use the Vega visualization, as these sort of range-visualizations are not supported by the regular visualizations.

This does require you to write some code. I would start with going through the documentation here [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-graph.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-graph.html), and see if this will work for you.

Hi @thomasneirynck,

I tried understanding Vega graph but unable to query elastic search.  
Below is my requirement.  
Could you please check and let me know if this can be achieved in Kibana.  
I have 3 records as below in elastic search. first two columns are timestamp and third column is string in elastic search.  
Begin time,End time, Number  
2018-07-04T05:30:00.000Z,2018-07-04T05:50:00.000Z ,12345  
2018-07-04T05:40:00.000Z,2018-07-04T05:60:00.000Z ,12345  
2018-07-04T05:20:00.000Z,2018-07-04T05:40:00.000Z ,23456

below is the chart I am looking to implement.

Please suggest me on this graph implementation.

Thanks
