hi

 

I want to display an average line in my bar chart

So I am doing this but instad a line it's a third bar chart which is displayed

how to add a line average instead a bar line

 

| timechart span=2h max(debut) as "Début de session", max(fin) as "Fin de session" 
| eventstats avg("Début de session") as Average 
| eval Average=round(Average,0)

 Thanks

You need to format the chart, specifically Chart Overlay

Your average is from "Début de session" not "Fin de session" - is that why?

In my dash, I have 2 fields "Début de session" and "Fin de session" and I am doing 2 average, avg_deb and avg_fin

But I dont succeed to use the same color for avg_deb like for "Début de session" and same thing for avg_fin with "Fin de session"

What part isn't working? Is it only colouring the average lines or none of them?
