Hello,

Added a few Elastic agents to my Elastic Cloud trial and after 24 hours, I noticed negative CPU Usages on the builtin "[Elastic Agent] Agent metrics" dashboard..

After checking the configuration, the TSVB visualisation seems to be missing a "Positive Only", it's fixed:

Thanks @willemdh , we have opened [[Elastic Agent] Incorrect visualization of CPU usage · Issue #1453 · elastic/integrations · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/issues/1453) to track this issue.
