Hi,

I there a way to display count of records contributing to a graph.  
I have a vertical bar chart for a specific error, and I wanted to display the count of records contributing to that chart.

I know it can be done using "metric" visualization for same search as graph. But it is occupying unnecessary space on an already congested dashboard.

It will be good if the count can be displayed near the legend or somewhere else within the chart visualization space.

Any workaround ??

Thanks,  
Shwetank

No workaround that I am aware of, Sorry, the extra metric visualization will have to do.
