Is there a way to create a widget in Kibana that able to change its color when hit certain threshold? for Example below, we have widget that will turn to orange when hit 80% and red if it is hit 90%. Below was captured from another enterprise solution.

i know this is possible when on canvas, but i am not there yet in canvas.

Hello @sixsenseninja,

I can't think of a way to do this without Canvas. If you choose to use it in the future, the example mentioned [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/canvas-conditional-statement/270495/2) could be helpful.

Hi @sixsenseninja  
Metrics in Lens can change colors depending on the value.  
What version are you on?

It would not be a custom widget.... But you can color based on value
