Hi, I created a TSVB Metric widget that it's purpose is to function as a traffic light - should be red when there's an error in the system, yellow if there's a warning, and green if all is ok. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/3/c3cdb015d84cefc32c4fef9bd15868bd96c2da99.png) The problem is, I can't find a way to configure 3 different colors based on the "status" field ("error","warning","ok") and on the numeric value. For now, I succeeded to configure green and red colors like this - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/8/b/8b689769a945a5db03c327fa3d09f734fea9970b.png) I really want to find out how to configure color based on the status and on the numeric value... is that possible somehow? I tried using Markdown widget also but it doesn't look as good as the Metric vis. Thanks ---

It doesn't really work that well with string values, it works on numeric values. What I would suggest is have 2 different TSVB metric visualizations, one that goes Green/Red if there are any Error ones and another one that goes Green/orange if there are any warnings. ---
