Dear all,

I'm new to ELK and I use it with Netflow collected from a Mikrotik router.  
When opening the dashboard, I only have "Traffic At A Glance" showing line traffic over time and Pie chart for Traffic by protocol.  
What I need to have is Top talkers, how can I proceed ?

Regards

Hello Rivo,

Are you using built-in dashboards from elastic?  
You can use top hits aggregation to help you perhaps?

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics-top-hits-aggregation.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics-top-hits-aggregation.html)

You can try to create a data table using it and then add it to the dashboard.

Thanks,  
Bhavya
