Hi,  
I am trying to create time-series graphs in Kibana 6.2.  
I am not able to make Y-axis showing percentage. It always give a option for number. There is on field percentCpu utiliziation which is nothing but the integer. However while showing on Y-axis, i want Y-axis to show % scale.  
How can I do that.

basically, we are reading system parameters, CPU, FILESYSTEM, Memory using a shell script which creates logs and filebeat reas and index those.

Please guide on this. Timelion is very tough to understand.  
Should I use metricbeat instead?

br,  
Sunil.

go to 'metrics & axes' tab and on your y axis select mode to 'percentage'
