Hi,  
I new to Kibana, and i'm trying to get a CPY histogram from few machines. I'm using MetricBeat to collect data and Kibana to visualise them 🙂  
But i don't really understand this message :

This visualisation is a clone from the MetricBeat CPU usage histogram.  
What does this message mean ?  
I'm using kibana 6.6.2

Thx by advance,  
Paul

Hey, thanks for reaching out.

The heatmap chart can show value labels within the individual cells - like this:

If the "Show labels" setting is enabled but the cells are too small to show the labels (as in your screenshot), this warning pops up. You can edit the configuration of the chart and disable "Show labels" in the "Options" tab to get rid of it.
