Hey there.

I built a monitoring environment with metricbeat for kubernetes, and realized the official dashboard is showing container cpu usage as "nanocore".

 ![47](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/b/0bdfb73a29cf1119e5470837ecc085b99b9e8bfc.png)  
(the visualization is using `kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.core.ns` as a source.)

Is there any way that can i convert it to percentage or normal cores? Nanocore doesn't feel straightforward to me.

Thanks.

There is also a field `kubernetes.container.cpu.usage.node.pct` and `kubernetes.pod.cpu.usage.node.pct` which might be helpful here?
