Visualizations and dashboards need basic result count information

[zofog]

This is a must have feature that was available in Kibana 3 but is missing in Kibana 4.4.0.

1. Visualization labels should have a total count metric
2. Dashboard saved search tables should have a total count metric

See image below as input.

I agree

My users are flat out rejecting Kibana 4 due to the added friction and loss of functionality from Kibana 3. The complete absence of total counts in chart visualizations and legends is just another nail in that coffin.

Describe the feature:
This feature applies to some situations:

Average response time of web page
Sum of client request or server response bytes
Unique of client IP
also other use cases
When graphing average response time or other aggregation except for Count, it is very helpful to know how many documents/events that countribute to the aggregated value. For instance, if avg response time for certain client IPs is above 10s, but the number of requests each IP is lower than 50, perhaps they are just some scanners or bots that crawling our website.

I know that we can create a tile map using Count and put side by side to compare, but again I would love to just see the information on one tile map when hoovering over a data point on the map.

To display both figures, main aggregation and the document count, we can either:

Put both on each data point
Use Color for main aggregation and dot size for document count or vice versa
Is it something that requires lots of work to implement?

Closing this because it's not planned to be resolved in the foreseeable future. It will be tracked in our Icebox and will be re-opened if our priorities change. Feel free to re-open if you think it should be melted sooner.
