Plot raw time series with Kibanan Timelion

Question

I might not get something. How can I plot a raw time series with Timelion without applying any further aggregation? Just the raw data of a field over time that I have in an index. Of course I select the proper time window for the data.

Answer 1

I was trying to achieve the same thing, but didn't fully get what I wanted, but maybe these steps will help you.

• My data was on by minute basis, so I don't want any more frequent fragmentation. Selecting interval = 1m helps only for short periods of time, but adding "interval=1m" into .es() block works on long periods, too.
• To have lines not to return to 0 in between points, use .es().fit(carry)
• .es().scale_interval(1m).fit(scale) - this is my chart to return to 0 if there were no data for certain period rather than carrying the line on the same level.
• .es(metric=max:value_field) helps not to sum up the values, but show the max of the aggregated set.

My charts are still weirdly aggregated, but maybe it'll help someone.
