Can we have a needle inside the Gauge pointing to the value? Is there any way to add the needle in the gauge. I am using the latest version now (i.e, Kibana 7.12.1)

Kibana doesn't currently support gauge needles, however there's a request for it: [Display the needle/pointer for Gauge/Goal charts · Issue #23264 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/23264)

Just Incase these might satisfy what your looking for, a little Compuond Gauge the we created in Vega. There is one for Percents and one for Scalars. There is quite a bit of flexibility... however it is in Vega which is not as friendly to everyone.

It's a good opportunity to give a bit more context: there are [ongoing discussions](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/89859) about adding bullet graphs to Lens. This is considered generally superior to circular gauge arcs, not just due to space saving but also, readability. It has more [features](https://www.perceptualedge.com/articles/misc/Bullet_Graph_Design_Spec.pdf) than circular gauges generally do. Often, there are better options than circular gauges, not just bullet graphs but sometimes, one or multiple gauges can be replaced by a bar chart

I look forward to better representation..
This would help the developers to have more options for representation on Kibana than using other applications to create customised views.
