Good morning!  
I would like to know if it's possible to use a field's value of a document as superior range's value in a Goal Visualization.  
My intention is indicate the total number of monitors in that field of the Goal Visualization.  
If I would have a field in a document called `total_monitors` how can I indicate the value of that field as superior range's value?  
Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Sadly it's not possible to use a document as the range value for a Goal visualization.

Thank you for your answer Marius.  
How can I suggest to Elastic that add this feature to future versions of Kibana could be very useful? Sending a email to `support@elastic.co` or are there another way?  
Thanks!
