Hi,

In a Kibana(5.5.1) visualisation(say, Timelion / Vertical Bar Chart), the Y-axis data points are 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, 1.85. So, The visualisation's Y-axis range is automatically set to '1 to 2'.

But, I want to explicitly specify the Y-axis range( say, 0 to 5 ).  
How can this be done? Please suggest.

@anisen

With Timelion, you can do it using the min/max parameters of the yaxis like so: `.es(*).yaxis(1, min=0 , max=5)`

With a Vertical Bar Chart, you can do so using the Metrics & Axes -\> Y-Axis -\> Advanced Options -\> Custom Extents as highlighted below:
