I am trying to build the dashboard right now and able to show the CPU/memory usage by single specific host as below. ![example1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/0/f09fef52940dc77b8afb00adfc38e0408a9ae740.jpeg) however, I would like to group some specific hostnames (just like uat servers or app servers) to show into one single chart. Is there any method to let me do that? I tried to use "add filter" but seems unable to do that. May I ask if anyone could guide me to do that please? Thank you. ---

Hi @afan, how is your data structured? The first option it comes to mind would be to use Lens filtered metric (either via quick function or via formula): ![Screenshot 2021-09-02 at 15.13.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/1/9152cdef4ac8815c9b9b86dd56cef6a2ef6b1f20.jpeg) I've built them via the `Filter by` advanced option: ![Screenshot 2021-09-02 at 15.12.44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/2/12b9440795b0e22392b21a26123038eafd88553c.png) ![Screenshot 2021-09-02 at 15.12.25](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/e/2ec84d3fc467ce407e4b30b806492cfccc2bba22.jpeg) And one by Formula: ![Screenshot 2021-09-02 at 15.12.14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/5/25999fe666ac19120413c1d355dcd6a45dccab98.jpeg) I've built this example using the `logs` sample data. ---

If I try to use your suggestion way, I found that if I input host.hostname, it just returns to "equal" or "exists" for looking my hostname. Seems like I couldn't use something like "contain" to select multiple specific hostname for my graph. ![example2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/8/c8dfa76904cbf7e4280368a174ad769a84fca2e8.jpeg) ---

I'd say then that you have two options here: - if you know all the names of the `hostname`s involved in a group you could create a KQL query joining them via the OR operator: `host.hostname : "A" OR host.hostname: "B" ...etc` - alternatively if you can express it via regex you could use a `Lucene` query [with a RegExp](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/regexp-syntax.html) - note that there are some limitations here, see the [notes here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html) You can click on the `KQL` button in the popup to switch to `Lucene`. ---

Thank you Marco and I managed to plot such graph just like this as below. Thanks so much. 🙂 ![pic3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/1/7108a789315dce8512e5d9aeccea0a863fbc9e34.jpeg) ---
