Hello,  
I have a constant stream of data getting stored in an elasticsearch index and it works well, I can select all fields according to the mapping.  
Each message contains a field InformationObject.value that is an array of double values and if I use a metric like AVG it works well but I don’t know how to get the seperate values out of each message.  
This is how I get the important field “InformationObjects” in the table … it shows 3 objects per message

and in the selection for the metric I can choose the value but only the AVG, MAX etc. of those three values but I want to seperate them

I think the answer is rather simple but I couldn’t figure out how yet
