Kibana version 6.7  
We are trying to create a dashboard with a horizontal bar based on a field named **duration** of type **number**. We want to add a static line to show the Threshold of sorts for the entire series.  
We followed this [blog](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-create-a-line-threshold-benchmark-to-a-vertical-bar-graph/152568/4) and this [blog](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5037) and created a scripted field with a value 10 and used it in my Y axis aggregation. Adding screenshots of my visualization settings.  
We end up with a dot as our Threshold line in our graph instead of a line (as attached).  
How do I draw a line across the entire series as marked in the screenshot?

Please let me know if any other details are needed.

Thanks

Hi @pavank

You could do that using the **Threshold line** in **Panel settings**

Hope this helps,

ah sorry, you need 7.4 for it.

In 6.8 this might be possible using the Vega visualization:

Thank you Matt for this update.  
I will try this out in the higher version of Kibana
