I'd wonder, if Kibana Infrastructure app can support data source other than metricbeat. I am now collecting system metrics by Collectd. I assume Infrastructure app is looking for pre-defined field names. Can I modify field names in Collectd by Logstash, so that Infrastructure app can recognize those data. ---

If you follow [ECS](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ecs/current/index.html) and the metric schema used in the system module of Metricbeat (here memory as an example: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/system/memory/\_meta/fields.yml](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/system/memory/_meta/fields.yml)) the above should work. ---

Will give it a try and feedback. Many Thanks @ruflin for the confirmation. ---

Here is a list of the fields that the Infrastructure UI uses: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/infrastructure/guide/current/install-infrastructure-monitoring.html#\_which\_fields\_are\_used\_for\_the\_metrics\_on\_the\_infrastructure\_home\_page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/infrastructure/guide/current/install-infrastructure-monitoring.html#_which_fields_are_used_for_the_metrics_on_the_infrastructure_home_page) ---

I have successfully enabled CPU, memory, load metrics in Infrastructure UI. But inbound and outbound traffic are always 0 bits. I have both system.netowrk.in.bytes and system.netowrk.out.bytes in place, both of which are type number. However, these two metrics are not unique in a host, as there may have multiple NIC. Any advise? BTW, according to the document, the UI will use max of `system.netowrk.in.bytes` and max of `system.netowrk.out.bytes`, here what's the max mean? max across NIC, or max across time interval? ---

i think its related to this issue > My current data collection interval is 5 minutes ---

Well spotted, thank you! Currently it is `max` across all documents in the time interval, which does not look correct. We're tracking this in [[Infra UI] system.network.\* not displayed by interface name · Issue #37225 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/37225) . ---

@Jehutywong There is a [bug](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/37225) with the metrics on the main "Inventory" view that is calculating the in/out traffic, it's not accounting for ALL the interfaces. The values on the "metrics page" view are correct and are sum total of all the interfaces. ---
