I am attempting to replicate some dashboards from Grafana into Kibana, for the most part its working. Is there a request to improve Lens for this kind of scenario?

I did notice that in Grafana you can create a pie chart and allow override settings. Essentially you can show two data inputs in one pie chart.  
[Configure field overrides | Grafana documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/panels-visualizations/configure-overrides/#configure-field-overrides)

Here's my example:

But in Elastic you can't do it unless you create two different pie charts:

Hi @erikg

can you share a bit how's data shaped?  
Depending on its shape maybe filters is one way to model that.

The data is coming in prometheus format via elastic integration.

As you can it seems like two metrics being combined into 1

we have metric A which is looking at the used\_bytes and then sliced by type  
and then B is looking a free \_bytes and its being added as a slice and its proportions are updated.

So I did the first metric A in Elastic and it works well:

but adding another metric to won't really help:

If you could share a document example stored in ES that would help.  
I'm not familiar with the Prometheus integration.
