I want to monitor my spark jobs via ELK.  
I am using the Graphite sink to send spark metrics to Logstash.

I want to define a Line Charts visualization in Kibana for jvm metrics. But the received fields names contain the spark application id (ex: application\_1512022801087\_025.driver.jvm.pools.Metaspace.committed)

Is it possible to have a generic field name to keep visualization works when the spark application id changes?

You will need to change this while ingesting the data into Elasticsearch.
