Hi all, I'm sure I'm not the first one with this idea, but couldn't find anything on the net which resembles a solution. My goal is to have a horizontal line expressing a threshold level. The scenario in questions is a Kibana 4 visualization of NginX request duration average. I want to set a horizontal line on the graph, making it easy to point when the threshold is crossed. One Idea is to add the threshold level as a field in each document and display the average per same time slice of the graph. Any other ideas?

Not an exact answer but you could use a filter and stacked lines. Have one color for above threshold and a different color and under threshold.

Hi, You can have a scripted field added in Kibana and assign it a threshold value. I hope it will help.
