All our cluster nodes are Docker-based. The "Nodes" monitoring page shows "N/A" for "CPU Usage":

 ![cpu_na](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/1/c1f9305c5f350981071d5a85cd202b756895ba70.png)

Kibana has this configured:

```
xpack.monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true

```

(Also, the detail page for each node shows no data on the graph for "CPU Utilization".)

What else do I need to be able to monitor CPU usage?

Hi @tomhe,

Do you have CPU throttling enabled on your containers? If not, there really isn't anything to show there.

See [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/31390](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/31390)
