Hi,

I have a visualization showcasing CPU Utilization over a given time series. I have set a threshold line of 80 to indicate when utilization is higher than normal.  
 ![threshold](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/e/1effa15041e472d920272fdee164ff5f76105acc.png)

Is it possible on Kibana to change color of the line graph if the values crosses the threshold limit? Also when the graph goes below the threshold line, the color comes back to normal. This is to indicate at what point the CPU value is above the threshold value. The Index pattern is coming from a database/dataset.

Hi, unfortunately this is not possible in Kibana today. There is an open enhancement request for it here if you'd like to comment there and track it:
