One thing that has always stumped me is converting a value in a visualization. I would like to have a gauge that display the current temperature. The data source is in fahrenheit but a lot of people seeing the gauge are expecting it in Celsius.

Is this possible and if so how would I do it?

Welcome to our community! 😃

There's nothing native in Kibana to do it, you'd probably need to create a scripted field, convert it there and then create another visualisation on that field.
