Hi ,

I created some Visualization Charts.  
I know that the color option is supported only from version 4.3.  
But is there any way to define for "Success" and "Failure" with the same color under those Charts ?  
If I put all the Visualization Charts under the same Dashboard , the colors are not the same for the reason ....  
It will confuse the users that will look at the Dashboard.

BR,  
Chen

I believe 4.0 supports the "visualization:colorMapping" advanced setting, which allows you to globally set specific colors based on values. That's probably the closest you're going to get to any sort of color control in 4.0.

You may try to define color mapping in the field setting itself. Edit your field and play with the field format.

Hi ,

There isn't such option under advanced setting in Kibana 4.0.2 , As I can see it's supported from Kibana 4.2.  
Can you send me a screen shot where it's located If this is possible in 4.02 ?

Ah, I could just be wrong about which version it was added in. Sorry about that!
