I have a time chart graph for disk utilization. Requirement is to add a static red color line as a threshold limit at 90% in X axis.. Can some one suggest how can we do that.

Hi @sbhatnagar88

Try this

        <option name="charting.chart.overlayFields">threshold</option>
        <option name="charting.fieldColors">{"threshold":#ff0000}</option>

One way you could do it would be to just add | eval threshold = 90 at the

index=_internal| timechart count by log_level | eval threshold = 90

Then go into the chart formatting options > "Chart Overlay" and set the threshold field as an overlay.

Hope this helps!

Hi Chris,

That helped!!..can we also make the color of threshold line RED so that it should be visible easily and different from other lines.

Thanks
