Can someone explain this i using metricbeat but kibana dashboard show cpu usage more than 100%, I'm a novice with perfomance ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/2/92da251490450359115adaae6d31956fa2ca4a3e.png) this cpu&ram i provide to this server on hyper v ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/0/60dd01d999f0489e037d3a9707e865ae831b6256.png) thanks for your answer, Me. ---

A system with virtual processors will report 0-100% utilization for each core, and will report total CPU utilization as the sum of those 4 numbers, so you can see utilization above 100% on such systems. ---
