Hello All,
I was creating a visualization of process metrics using Elastic Agent System Integration. This is collecting top processes by CPU.
I am wondering how do I show only data, if you see some values appear but theres no data

Hi @erikg
I am having trouble parsing this sentence

Can you provide examples
I am not sure how to
_Only show data... But theres no data_

Haha my bad @stephenb
I basically am trying to say, if the current visual suggests certain process names have no data (no bar shown), then I would only prefer seeing process names with data, making the visualization look cleaner.
Hopefully that makes more sense?

try `process.name : *` or `process.name :* and system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct:*`

Huh that did not work when I said top 20 and there was say only 10 reporting.. will need to take a look later... not sure why that is not working
What version are you on

Hello @erikg
As requested by Stephen please share the ELK version?
It seems that when you filter using : \* we get records which has value as 0% which is valid & they are not null so those process we can see on the chart , example of 1 process , in your case http :
I am not sure if we can use below work around :
before :
after :
`system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct > 0`
Thanks!!

@Tortoise @erikg
Interesting... Yup I see the same thing in Lens
`system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct : *` or `system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct >0` in the Top / Overall KQL bar at the top filter it worked but weirdly in the filter in the Metric it does not work... I believe because THAT fillter happens After the Aggregation.
So the lesson is filter in the KQL bar in Lens to reduce the data set
Actually this ^^^ is a really important way to make your lenses better...
This works in ESQL
```auto
FROM metrics-*
| WHERE process.name IS NOT NULL and system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct IS NOT NULL
| STATS avg_cpu = AVG(system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct) by process.name
| SORT avg_cpu DESC
```
