Hey all, i have heartbeat configured on a windows server that's monitoring a workstation in my lab. I would like to create a dashboard that shows all devices that are up or down and a summary of total up/down devices as well. I've been trying to create something similar to what you can see on the Uptime page in Kibana but the learning curve is very steep. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/f/df76b3cb56429470be20ac4f0b9bad924e404e9f.png) ---

The uptime app is able to build these visualizations because it is not a generic tool: this kind of visualization is not something that is easily built using Kibana's generic tools. ---
