Hi
I'm really impressed with all the data that the elasticsearch basic monitoring is picking up and putting into the .monitoring-es\* indices. I'm guessing that visualizing that data would be a great resource for debugging issues or doing future capacity planning.
The ones shown in Kibana under monitoring are too basic, I think.
I've been thinking about taking some time out to go through all those collected metrics and make visualizations for the interesting ones, but I thought I might ask here first. if someone has already built a set of visualizations or an entire dashboard and tested which ones that are most interesting and what visualizations makes the most sense, I'd definitely appreciate getting inspiration or a copy of that! That would be super helpful!!
Anyone done this already?
