Hi,

I have a bar chart of count on Y-Axis and events on X-axis. When I mouseover a bar a tooltip appears with lots of info inside of it including the value of the count.

Is it possible to show just the value of the count above each bar by default when the graph loads? Or is there an alternate visual that does this?

Thanks.

I don't believe it's possible at the moment. I could have sworn we had a ticket for this on Github, but I can't seem to find it now. You might want to file a new feature request there: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues)
