I'm trying to get the API requests that kibana does to the Elasticsearch in order to get the data to visualize. But for metricbeat i cannot find what i want.

Specifically on the ECS dashboard at the Host or System overview the only Gauge that lets me see the request/response is the Number of processes and at the System overview the Cpu usage at the bottom graph, not the Gauge.

If you see in the picture when i click the 3 dots i can select "inspect" and see the info there

**But that doesn't** apply to the other gauges. See the photo

1. So why is that?

2. And for a second question i have is that even on the "inspect" option i can only see the request body and response. I cannot see the URL that is being hit !

Lastly the same applies if i go **Observability** -\> **Metrics** , there is not a way to see the API calls.

Thanks in advance
