Hello,

I use Kibana to visualize my data set.

I apply "unique-count" operation on '\_id' field, but the result is "float".

More precisely the number of rows is 5542 and the result given is 5.542.

Could you please help me.  
Here is a capture:

The result is correct, it's just using the english decimal separator `,`.

You can change the locale Kibana is using to format numbers by going to Management \> Advanced settings and setting a specific "Formatting locale":
