Unlike in Bar Graphs heatmap does not have the Metrics and axes tab. Although it does have the "Options" tab but doesn't have the feature to Pivot the X-axes labels. Is there a way using JSON Inputs or some programming? If yes please provide the resources from where I can get a heads up. Thank you ---

Hmm, it doesn't look like there's currently any way to do this. Could you open an enhancement request on our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana)? Thanks! ---
