I'm quite sure that I used to be able to click a legend in a line chart followed by the plus sign to create a filter, but for some reason, the plus and minus signs are missing now.

For pie charts this still works:

Could I have messed up some configuration? Or why can't I filter using legends on line charts?

i think you are using a version of kibana where this was broken.

what version are you on ?

this will only be fixed in 6.6.2 as we missed the deadline for 6.6.1
