I have time series data coming into elasticsearch/kibana and the data is updated in real time inside TSVB's markdown feature. How do I implement a feature whereby if the latest data coming in exceeds a certain set threshold, then display a flashing icon and change the markdown's text color from for example, green to red? I was thinking along the lines of hiding/displaying the alarm icon image which loads from an url. Any suggestions? ---

You can access variables in tsvb markdown widget, [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/TSVB.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/TSVB.html), but it is not possible to add conditional logic in markdown. You could display a metric and then set the text color/backbround color based on thresholds. ---
