Better support for individual events #1

Closed walterra closed 4 years ago

Kibana visualizations act on aggregations. The milestones plugin uses a date histogram aggregation for its x-axis. With wider time ranges selected, Kibana might decide to aggregate at larger intervals than desired.

This limits the usefulness of the plugin for longer time ranges.

Possible solution: Investigate if a top hits aggregation could be used to get the raw dates of individual events to achieve a more detailed x-axis.

This has been solved with the release of the plugin for Kibana 7.2.0: https://github.com/walterra/kibana-milestones-vis/releases/tag/v7.2.0

The data fetching no longer relies on aggregations but gets individual documents.
