I create an index and input a the following json data.

$ cat test1.json  
{"index":{"\_index":"test1","\_type":"type1","\_id":"dd36d076-55bc-4185-a273-6edeeb700877"}}  
{"%CPU %MEM COMMAND":"21 0.1 /bin/bash"}  
{"index":{"\_index":"test1","\_type":"type1","\_id":"b0257daf-656b-4f55-aba9-dce5e422a0f6"}}  
{"%CPU %MEM COMMAND":"100 20M /java"}  
{"index":{"\_index":"test1","\_type":"type1","\_id":"900e7798-b6c7-49ca-b6dd-df22d5311c7c"}}  
{"%CPU %MEM COMMAND":"52 5M /matome.sh"}

However, I create the graph and want to see no fileter data on kibana.  
How can I solve problem?

Best regards,  
Kazu

When I input a data, I use the following command.

curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/test1](http://localhost:9200/test1) -d @test1.json

[test1.json]  
{"index":{"\_index":"test1","\_type":"type1","\_id":"dd36d076-55bc-4185-a273-6edeeb700877"}}  
{"%CPU %MEM COMMAND":"21 0.1 /bin/bash"}  
{"index":{"\_index":"test1","\_type":"type1","\_id":"b0257daf-656b-4f55-aba9-dce5e422a0f6"}}

{"index":{"\_index":"test1","\_type":"type1","\_id":"900e7798-b6c7-49ca-b6dd-df22d5311c7c"}}

Data that you want to graph must be separated into different fields. Kibana (Elasticsearch, really) can't do anything with

```
{"%CPU %MEM COMMAND":"21 0.1 /bin/bash"}

```

but with

```
{"cpu": 21, "mem": 0.1, "command": "/bin/bash"}

```

it can.

Thank you for your detial reply!  
I see.  
That is, I need to convert its data.  
In this case, the quantity of data is slight, so the conversion is easy.  
But, if imore and more it is, conversion is more difficult...
