We are collecting server metrics via beats. we want to get server details in visualization like datacenter , memory size etc in the dashboard . instead of adding custom fields . i have created a statis index without timestamp field but with counter. i have created a tag cloud visualization , for datacenter with max of counter,descending 1 and added into dashboard .
whenever i search hostname in dashboard . my other visualisation using metric index shows data and static visualization also correctly shows datacenter .
questions
-
if i want to show both datacenter , memory size , do i need to add another tag cloud visualization in dashboard.
Cannot this all information from static be displayed in single visualization ?or some visualization type i need to select ?
is there any way to display free text field [non aggregate ] field to display -
as i have static index without timestamp , it will always show latest value [max counter] irrespective of the time .
for example . if i increased memory today , viewing dashboard [yesterday timing ] still shows this static visualization with new memory size instead of old . is there any workaround for this as maintenance is easy in elk instead adding custom field in metricbeat yml in every server
