I'm new to Kibana. I have the following data:
| DateTime | Temperature1 | Temperature2 | Temparature3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2021-10-05 09:00:00 | 5 | 2 | 9 |
| 2021-10-05 10:00:00 | 6 | 1 | 7 |
I want to create on a canvas a line-chart, x-axis is the DateTime, y-axis is the temperature. I want to have a line for temperature1, one for temperature2 and one for temperature3. Is this possible and how have I to do this? I don't find an option to add an extra line on the chart.

Hi @marcw ,
welcome to the Kibana community.
It is not trivial do have multiple series in Canvas charts, and it requires to change slightly the data: [Canvas: how to make stacked area chart? - #2 by Catherine\_Liu](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/canvas-how-to-make-stacked-area-chart/180399/2)
Another solution would be to create the visualization with the Lens or Aggregation-based editor, save it in the Visualize Library, then import it in Canvas: [Canvas | Kibana Guide [master] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/canvas.html#add-kibana-visualizations)
_Note_: in case of import from other Kibana editor mind that the time range is saved within the visualization and not in the Canvas workpad

Hi @Marco_Liberati ,
Thanks for the answer. I will try to change the structure of the index.
