Allow monitoring of metricbeat uptime data in Kibana Uptime app

Elastic Observability Synthetics

Hi,

The metricbeat system module is able to ship uptime metrics to elasticsearch:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-uptime.html

It would be great if these were made available in the Kibana Uptime view.

Thanks.

Thanks for posting. This feature would probably make a bit more sense to add to the Infrastructure UI. However, at some point we'd like to merge this together with uptime's UI in some limited ways.

I realize this sounds confusing. I mean, the metric is uptime, and our app is Uptime. However, the Uptime app is focused on checking network endpoints and reporting their status.

No, I agree. I didn't realise this at the time, but yes, they are both different concepts of uptime.
