Hello, I'm a bit new to Kibana 5, and I was hoping someone could help me out. Previously, in Kibana 3, we could clip externous data from the Y access due to recording errors, and "clean up" our graphs. I can't seem to find how to do this in Kibana 5, or if it's even possible. Does anyone know how to achieve this? ---

Not exactly sure what you mean here, but you can click and drag on the graph to filter by only the range you'd like to include in the graph. ---

That works for the X axis, but the not the Y ---

You can manually do this by going into the "Metrics & Axes" tab, clicking on "Show Advanced Options", checking "Set Axis Extents", and setting the "Max" and "Min" to your desired values. ---

I could easily do that in Kibana 3 and 4, and it would only impact that graph, but I am not seeing that option in Kibana 5.1.1, see sample attached, it used to be an option on the top right of each graph. ![14457](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/4/3481c85ab07413b2b961c408fd5d2c80225fa66d.PNG) ---

In 5.1, it's here in the "Options" tab in the Visualize app. You'll have to set it here for it to take effect on Dashboard. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/9/b9238b0a1accc74d94c7cb1879b0cab0e6a0b241.png) ---

Any plans on making it as easy to find and implement as it was in 3 and 4? Where you didn't have to go back and forth from visualize and dashboard and not having to make wholesale changes to dashboards? ---
