Hello, I wanted to find out if the range of values for system.process.memory.rss.pct and system.process.cpu.total.norm.pct if from:

- 0.0 to 1.0  
or
- 0.0 to 100.0.

```auto
"pct": {
  "type": "scaled_float",
  "scaling_factor": 1000
}

```

They are stored as a `scaled_float` and then multiplied by 1000. So your first option is correct.
