Hi

I want to know how packetloss works on the kibana dashboard? if I use the system module, will packet loss display data? i always get 0 packetloss and i once tried to shut down one of my vm to try to get the packetloss, i changed the time range when my vm was shut down but still, i still get 0 packetloss in my kibana dashboard

and I want to ask about disk usage, what's the difference between this disk usage?

Hi @Tw1cUser,

I assume you are using Metricbeat to capture the packetloss and and disk metrics. Which fields specifically are you visualizing?

Ok, are you using `system.network.out.dropped`? I see from the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-system.html) that this value is reported as 0 on Darwin and BSD which could be an issue.

What fields are you using in your `system.yaml`. Are you able to share a snippet?
