HI there, What i'm trying to do is show a cpu, memory, and disk usage of my servers. I use collectd to send the information, but once in elasticsearch i cannot show in kibana. It always take (count, max, min...) i cannot take the value of a field as cpu, or memory. What i want to show is monitoring servers usage. I know it is possible because i saw some axample on the web, but i think it was an old version of kibana. Thanks Indeed ---

You must use some aggregation to plot the values in buckets by time - there is no way to plot every raw value (see some discussion [here](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/978)). In your case "average" probably makes most sense. ---
