Hello-
I've tried finding this, but maybe I'm just not getting the hotwords/terminology down correctly to properly search this functionality. I'm looking to add vertical bars to timelion plots as event indicators, similar to what's pictured (and circled) here on the Kibana Dashboard landing page located here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/dashboard.html)
Any ideas on how this was done?

Hey @TechSavvy,
This visualization was created using the Time Series Visual Builder, rather than Timelion. These lines are called "annotations", and can be managed when designing the visualization:
