Kibana Task Manager Health Output help

[alaine (alex)]

Good Afternoon,

I am doing some troubleshooting and haven't been able to find the following situation in the docs in regards to the print out from the Kibana task manager health print out. I have negative values in my "drift" fields for a few of my kibanas. For example:

             },
             "drift":{
                "p50":-1274,
                "p90":-1236.5,
                "p95":-1223,
                "p99":-1186
             },
             "drift_by_type":{
                "reports:monitor":{
                   "p50":-1264,
                   "p90":-1225.5,
                   "p95":-1195,
                   "p99":-1186
                },
                "search_sessions_monitor":{
                   "p50":-2256,
                   "p90":-2197,
                   "p95":-2166,
                   "p99":-2162

Does this mean that these tasks are running ahead of schedule? Which kind of makes sense as the numbers are decreasing, but I haven't seen any reference made to this type of behavior.

Thanks,
Alex
