Hey,  
I want to know if we can mark a custom point on Kibana for future references. And if not, will that be available in future versions?

Hi @SHUBHAM_GUPTA,

by "mark a custom point on Kibana", do you mean you want to annotate data displayed in visualizations in Kibana?

The time series visual builder supports overlaying annotations from other sources on graphs. Adding such annotations via Kibana is currently not supported though. Features similar to that are being discussed in various contexts.
