Hi all,

I am new to Kibana trying to monitor & visualise my Ubuntu local system metrics.  
But in kibana the system metrics are very inaccurate (Tested by typing **top** command in my local system to know the metrics ). The difference between % of metrics is more than 10 %.  
I don't understand why that much variance.  
Someone can help me or give me a suggestion that would be very helpful.  
Thank you

Hi,

Can you please post more details ? Some screenshots would help of both Top and the raw documents in your cluster. As far as Ubuntu is concerned, I don't think that has anything to do with the chart variance.

More logs and screenshots+ steps would be helpful. Also please see [Metricbeat CPU information is wrong](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metricbeat-cpu-information-is-wrong/131390/3)

Thanks  
Rashmi
