Systemd service status visualization

[nabeel_ahmed (Nabeel Shakeel)]

Hi,
I am new to Kibana, and using kibana 7.7

I setup metricbeat and using service metricset for montioring of systemd services.

I wan to visualize the service status of each service as 1 (active) or 0 (inactive) with respect to timestamp on line graph or bar chart in kibana.

Kindly suggest me how to create that visualisation as i am unable to figure out correct aggregation to use.

Thanks,
Nabeel Shakeel

This is a tricky question for a few reasons. In general, this kind of "up or down" monitoring is done in a few ways in the Elastic stack:

• Using one of our solutions like the Metrics monitoring app
• Looking for anomalies in the data using a Machine Learning job
• Using a tool like Transforms to pivot your data into a shape that can be analyzed for "active" or "inactive" more

My best recommendation is to try to use one of our existing tools for this.
