It is not possible to put a filter on metric values. Timelion or visual builder allow for filtering data sets, so you could give those a try. If that does not meet your needs, then open an feature request at [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature\_request.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md)
