I would like to create a Metric visualization using Lens similar to one mentioned in the post below: [https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metric-background-change-based-on-last-week-value/345082](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metric-background-change-based-on-last-week-value/345082) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/e/6e0c05367371a6157bc89988362803fa9faaa4f8.png) How can I add a graph underlay to my Metric? On Kibana 8.17 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/a/5aa88ddf523659af86bc97ab95c559f15badc407.png) ---

hey @ArielC select the line selection in your metric: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/0/103e6e0c38f10c44fc7331006e9e9abf83f177a7.png) ---
