Hello,

How can I recreate this in a custom dashboard:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/2/f2178a8d678b58dfec93586eb8b0987332986f1b.png)

Using Heartbeat/Synthetics data.  
I can't seem to make the Metric visualization be dynamic for text or keywords.

Not so easy.....

Add a field to the Data View that is numeric / long

Code

```auto
long status = 1;
if ( doc['monitor.status'].value == 'down' )
{
    status = 0;
}
emit(status)

```

Then create viz... metric with  
`last_value(monitor.status_num)`  
Break down by `monitor.name`

As far as I know Not in a metric which by definition works on numerics.

You could probably use table visualizations if you want text

@stephenb  
Sometimes kibana can be very limiting, thanks for the help!
