Hello to everyone!  
I use ElasticSearch 6x, MetricBeat 6.2.3 and Grafana 5x  
I want to display the graf for Kubernetes Container CPU usage in percents.  
There are such fields in metricbeat: kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.nanocore and kubernetes.container.cpu.limit.nanocores. But they are measured in nanocores.  
According to this link: [Convert nanocore to percentage](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/convert-nanocore-to-percentage/116538) I sholud do such steps: kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.nanocore/kubernetes.container.cpu.limit.nanocores\*100 to getting the percentage. I use formula in metric script (\_value/doc['kubernetes.container.cpu.limit.nanocores'].value)\*100 where \_value is kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.nanocore.  
After all of it I get strange graph:

What I am doing wrong?

I am not sure about the output or parameters you use in grafana. I used to kibana so in that case you can find the below image for what I did in the link you attached. That involved painless scripting language. Though I didn't get the output as expected. In case of kibana, they messaged as they are working on getting percentage directly in the visualisations itself.
