I need to show variance in kibana visualizations but there is no option for Y-axis

Can I create scripted field or is there any other way around?

Hi,

the (yet experimental) Time Series Visual Builder (Visual Builder when creating a new visualization),  
has the options to draw the variance or also commonly used, the standard deviation (either raw, upper, lower or as a band).

Cheers,  
Tim
