Hi,

I want to monitor my CPU Load from Windows Servers, unfortunately I get Values above 100%.  
Also Kibana is not showing percent values, instead it is showing the decimal values.

It seems like metricbeat is calculating the load as load\*cores.  
Is there anyone who knows how to get values between 1-100%?

I don't know how to alert this, if every server has different amount of cores. I cannot define alerts if there are always different max values. (Screenshot shows a 2 core system with 100% load)

Does anyone has an idea how to get this to 1-100% Values?

Perhaps you can create a [scripted field](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.6/scripted-fields.html) that divides the system.cpu.total.pct by system.cpu.cores.

Ex.  
`doc['system.cpu.total.pct'].value/doc['system.cpu.cores'].value`

Thank you, that's exactly what I need! 🙂
