Hi there,

I have a use case where exploring network mapping of internal ip addresses to external ip addresses. Kibana Graph is an excellent tool for viewing these relationships.

Would it be possible to overlay a color coding system on these relationships? For example, if an external ip address is a field value of `load_balancer` it's colored blue? Adding another term to the graph query ends up being way too noisy.

Thank you!

It appears that at the moment you can't do this in graph. There is a redesign proposal that sounds like it wants to add this sort of feature.
