Hello,

How can I visualize Disk io with metricbeat in Kibana. I saw the post about timelion, but.. Isn't there another way to do this? So I can add this visualisation to the metricbeats Filesystem dashboard?

You can save a Timelion panel and add it do your dashboards as you do with other visualizations.
