How to use

Click on the button 'Visualize' and create a new visualization to select 'Health Metric'

In options, you can change the colors you want with hexadecimal color code (#FFFFFF) or by the color name (white). If you change the color indicating the name of the color, the color indicator will not update and display the black color by default.

You can also specify a maximum threshold (critical) that is not exceeded but also an alert threshold (warning). The color will be modified according to the state of health of the metric.
