Hi All,

I need to show or list the host on which filebeat is installed in the kibana dashboard or the list of hosts that send the log the kibana. Once again I don't want the count , I need to show the hosts monitored.

Regards  
Nandha

Doesn't Logstash's beats input populate the `host` field with the name of the Beats host? If not here's a list of fields that Filebeat includes in all events: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/exported-fields-beat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/exported-fields-beat.html)

Hi Magnus,

I want a dashboard or visualize page to show all the hosts which send the log message to the  
ES server or on which the filebeat is running. I built with the below visualize but still want something efficient to display all the hosts .

Thanks

Isn't this more of a Kibana question then, if you already have the data?
