Hi there,
I’m new to the platform, and I’m already pulling my hair out over what should be a ridiculously simple task—yet I can’t figure it out. Something as basic as visualizing field values seems completely elusive.
Here’s the deal: I’ve successfully set up the Elastic stack (using Docker) and am collecting logs with Filebeat. These logs include a field with numeric values that I want to visualize. All I want is to create a graph or table that shows the value of this field for each log entry. That’s it.
But can I get it to work? Absolutely not.
The best I’ve managed is displaying a count of records or some other completely irrelevant nonsense. Why is this so absurdly complicated? Shouldn’t there just be a straightforward option to display the actual values of a field?
This is far more convoluted than it has any right to be, and I’m honestly baffled. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I lose my mind.
