Hello, I have a simple dashboard where I display a metric (no of files collected).Now I have a filter by the type of feed and I want each time I select a feed the color mapping adjust automatically refering to the trend of these fields. I try to use the dynamic color by value but the tresholds don’t reflect the trends. How can i solve this problem? And by the way, how Kibana find the treshold values dynamically?Thx

Hello @Le_Philosophe

Welcome to the community!!

To understand your requirement , could you please share below information :

Say Last 24 hours \>\> metric count (total records) \>\> 100  
feed is a drop down filter with below options \>\>

feed A \>\> 25  
feed B \>\> 50  
feed C \>\> 15  
feed D \>\> 10

So now what color code you are expecting if we do not select dynamic option for various feeds ?

feed D \>\> red  
feed A,C \>\> yellow  
feed B \>\> green

What is the unique count of feeds in your environment?

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Last 24 hours \>\> metric count (total records) \>\> 1524

feed is a drop down filter with below options \>\>

feed A \>\> 1469  
feed B \>\> 28  
feed C \>\> 22  
feed D \>\> 3

feed E \>\> 2

I expect for each feed having 3 tresholds P1, P2 & P3 dynamic with the feed selected mapped to the colors green, yellow & red but first I don’t understand the way kibana calculate these tresholds and last those don’t reflect the trend of the data.
