[Time series visual builder] Out of sync with other dashboard visualizations

[alexfrancoeur]

As you can se in the below gif, time series visual builder charts do not update in sync with other visualizations.

All non-timelion / TSVB visualizations return their results in one data request for _msearch. It looks as if both TSVG and Timelion use their own requests which can result in a dashboard in which visualizations do not show the same data.

• TSVB = api/metrics/data xhr request
• Timelion = api/timelion/run xhr request
• Visualization = elasticsearch/_msearch xhr request

Do you feel like this is still a valid bug? TSVB behaves the same way as Timelion does and this also contributes to the "speed" that the users are enjoying. Personally I don't think it's a bug but more of a feature :D

@simianhacker, it is definitely a bug when the data in TSVB and other charts are not showing the same data. I get it every now and then (usually when I'm changing queries or timespans really quickly) and have just gotten into the habit of waiting for all the visualizations to load and then doing one more "reload" of the data to ensure that I'm looking at the same data in all visualizations.

@trevan Isn't that more related to the fact that the old query is taking too long and should be canceled once the new query is issued.

[trevan]

@simianhacker, it could be. I haven't really debugged why I see the cases. Sometimes, it appears that one of the systems (TSVB or vis) just doesn't see the same query or ignores the new query. I haven't yet updated to the latest Kibana so I'm hoping this "out-of-sync" data is fixed with some of the new changes.

It's related to this: #14208
Maybe we can show a small loading gif on each panel so users will know it's not the correct data yet. I think Kibana core uses a different color for vis that are loading

This should be solved nowadays with the fix for #14208, closing this.
