I'm currently monitoring the log rate with Metricbeat on a Centos system. Now I would like to monitor all emitted log rate without sending all data to Elastic. For example i have a connector installed which is sending data i want to monitor the data but don't want to send this data to Elastic. (besides that i'm curious if log rate /s is the same as eps.) Is this possible? ---

Hey @tristan1, sorry, I think I am not following you, what log rate are you monitoring with Metricbeat? And what do you mean by monitoring the data but not sending it to Elasticsearch? ---

Hi @jsoriano On the picture, you see the log rate of a system. On the same system I have a connector installed which sends data (not to Elastic). I would like to monitor the log rate of the connector of the same system and see it in the metric dashboard. What i could do is add the path to the Filebeat and it will monitor the log rate, but the problem is that i need to send this data to Elastic. Therefore, I would like to monitor the data of the connector but not sending it to Elastic. ![log-rate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/3/63b89d0d302576a6cb1b7b212e4d6955c15f421b.png) The other question: I am wondering if log rate as you can see in the picture is the same as event per second. I hope that this is a more clear explanation. ---

Oh, I get it better now 🙂 > [@tristan1](#): > > On the picture, you see the log rate of a system. On the same system I have a connector installed which sends data (not to Elastic). I would like to monitor the log rate of the connector of the same system and see it in the metric dashboard. I think this is not possible at the moment, but Kibana 7.7 will include a new feature to add custom metrics to the Metrics UI: [[Metrics UI] Custom Metrics for Inventory View by simianhacker · Pull Request #58072 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/58072) > [@tristan1](#): > > The other question: I am wondering if log rate as you can see in the picture is the same as event per second. Yes, this is the number of log events produced per second. This is calculated counting events stored in Elasticsearch, so this won't work for data sent to other stores. ---
