I'm trying to setup Metricbeat, unfortunately not much data is being visualized. [Screenshot_44] I am mostly interested in the CPU usage. I am using the example configuration presented at Step 2: Configure Metricbeat . Elasticsearch, Kibana and Metricbeat are running on version 6.2.1. Thanks in ad…

Can you explain what you would like to see? CPU usage is shown in the sample dashboard. You can easily build you own visualizations in kibana.

The CPU usage gauges would be great to begin with. The gauge itself is shown in the sample dashboard, unfortunately it is not receiving any data so it's constantly at 0% (see screenshot above).

Given all the other metrics I would say your machine is pretty much idling. Can you create some constant load to see if the counters increase?

I've been using stress --cpu 2 to generate some stress testing, unfortunately the metric didn't change. When creating a new dashboard the "common" CPU usage graph displays data but the gauge doesn't. I've checked, they are both pulling their data from the "system.cpu.user.pct" field. What am I doi…

The graph on the left clearly shows a spike, but that spike is in the past. Have you checked the gauge while you are load testing? You can select the time range in the left visualization. Try to select a range the CPU was active at.

Yes, I did monitor the gauge while the CPU spike in the graph on the left took place. It did not change. Also tested with different time ranges. If it helps, I'm running the newest version of Ubuntu. Is the CPU gauge supposed to pull the same data as the graph on the left or is it supposed to get t…

I have the same problem but no solution yet. What I did was, used beats to ship the metrics to Kibana without logstash. Is it an issue of indexing? As these dashboard uses metribeat-* and logstash uses logstash-*. So, basically it means, do we need logstash configured for beats for visualizing thes…

I am actually sending it directly from Metricbeat to Kibana not taking any detour via Logstash. Still, the gauge doesn't seem to receive any data, even though the "normal" graph is working.

@steffens Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

I have tried on latest Ubuntu beta and CPU metrics are properly collected, so I don't think it is related to this. Also mention that both, the graph and the gauge use the same data, so if it appears in one of the visualizations then it must be properly collected and stored. The main difference I se…
