There should be a provision to define delay

As of now, user can select time from top drop down e.g. Last 5 minutes, Last 15 minutes which creates a corresponding filter from now -5m to now, now -15m to now etc. There should be a provision to define delay so that filter created is now-5m to now-delay

This will make sure that data is visible only in Kibana once it is completely pushed in elastic search.

What is happening as of now for a real time system, partial data is plotted in Kibana first because all data is not pushed to Elastic search yet (because push is also a real time process) and then when Kibana refreshes itself and gets the complete data and data point changes. Delay will help us completely filter the data and data will only be plotted when it is completely available.

We've considered this issue several times and ultimately we've decided not to implement it. While the partial data looks a bit odd it really is what is there. For now we're going to keep the current behavior.
