Hi, I'm using the hosted ES cloud service and I find that the graphs on the "Performance" tab vs the Stack monitoring are quite different and if you had any idea which one I can trust more, it'd be great.

Here's an example for one of my nodes (instance 29):

 ![19%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/3/f30cc9ff077dea36ec5fda427cc55620643662e1.png) ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/a/2a182df219ce6d7a90cf634218fc0954cecbd33d.png)

Both are showing the same time period, but the one from the performance tab shows that the CPU is \>100% and the stack monitoring shows that it doesn't really average above 70%. Any idea for this discrepancy?

Hi @seanziee. I emailed the cloud folks about this and they recommend that you file a support issue for further investigation. Thanks!
