Hello everybody ☀ ,

I have a problem with an gauge.  
I have an value which average value I want to use. If the value is less than a specific value it should have the color green if the value is above, yellow and when the value is higher than a specific value it should have a red color. But the gauge is using always the "Highest Color Level" (red) even though the value is less than the value I have confgured.

Is there anything I have to consider ?

Thanks to all!  
Best regards,  
Robert 😊

Something must be wrong with your config.

You can see how in my screenshot the gauge is yellow as the vaue is between 5000 and 7500.

Hey,

Thanks for your answer!

I have made the same like you (but I use the visual builder in kibana 6.2.3), but the color is not changing…

Visual build gauge only shows data for the last bucket in the data histogram. Can you provide a couple of screen shots to better explain what you are trying to do and where the problems are?
