Hi,

I have a time series of application performance monitoring data (response times).  
I need to create a baseline chart ( it is something like mean value plus and minus standard deviation multiplied by some coefficient (2, for example)? )

In the end, that makes several graphics, is it possible with TSVB or any other visualization ?

Hi @WassimDhib, welcome back to the forum!  
You can create overlays using TSVB where each series you plot is customizable and you can apply aggregations and filters in a series. The [TSVB guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/TSVB.html#tsvb-visualization-types) should help you see how to create these visualizations, although you'll have to use filters/aggregations that are suitable for your needs. Kibana also ships with some sample data and there are a few TSVB visualizations that you can inspect and 'play' with to get a feel for it 😄  
Good luck!

Another recommendation is to use [Lens](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.9/lens.html) if that is available to you as a Visualization option.  
There's more info on Lens [here](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/kibana-lens) video, webinar, demo etc
