In {kib}, **Anomaly Explorer** and **Single Metric Viewer** charts are not
displayed for anomalies that were due to categorization (if model plot is not
enabled), `time_of_day` functions, `time_of_week` functions, or `lat_long`
geographic functions.

If model plot is not enabled, the charts are not displayed for detectors that
use script fields either (except for scripts that define metric fields). In that
case, the original source data cannot be easily searched because it has been
transformed by the script.

If your <<aggs-dfeeds,{dfeed} uses aggregations with nested `terms` aggs>> and
model plot is not enabled for the {anomaly-job}, neither the **Anomaly
Explorer** nor the **Single Metric Viewer** can plot and display an anomaly
chart for the job. In these cases, the charts are not visible and an explanatory
message is shown.

Refer to the table below for a more detailed view of supported detector
functions.

The charts can also look odd in circumstances where there is very little data to
plot. For example, if there is only one data point, it is represented as a
single dot. If there are only two data points, they are joined by a line.
The following table shows which detector functions are supported in the Single
Metric Viewer.
