You could export the data to CSV and try building a similiar chart in a spread sheet. To export the data to CSV, got to the Discover app and create a search that contains the expected data. Then click the `reporting` top nav and follow the instructions ---

Thanks @Nathan_Reese My Concern is, When I am seeing outgoing+incoming from Chart, it is showing 37+32=69 (at 5thSep 12:33) But, at the same time, if I am running below command on centOs (from which metric beat is collecting data): command--\> # netstat | wc -l output--\> # 502 502 is not matching 69 from the chart. Am i firing the right command at centOS to validate the stat for Kibana? Please guide me. ---
