Creating Top N Visualizations with the Time Series Visual Builder (TSVB) in Kibana 7.6

The Time Series Visual Builder (TSVB) is a great way of visualizing top "n" aggregations within time series data. By showcasing data in this way, we can visually represent the significance of the most recent values in a time-series. In this hands-on lab, we will leverage the TSVB in Kibana to create Top N visualizations from time-series data.
