I'm using Metricbeat to send system metric and in dashboard it's showing "In Packet loss" which is showing network connection dropped on that specific server.

Ok, then it would be based on the time range set in the top right of the dashboard

In set the time range, its showing packet loss as below but same time i was monitoring network connectivity through ping command on the server but haven't seen any packet loss. My understanding about In Packet loss is dropping network connection, Please correct me if I'm wrong.. Basically I want to achieve when network connection dropped so that we can look connectivity issues.
