Hi Is there anyway to get the metrics from Topbeat to display in Kibana in User Friendly readable format. For instance the metrics such as memory (all in bytes of KB) and CPU... It would be difficult to view and convert into user friendly measurements such as memory in MB or CPU in x% Idle. Pls suggest Thanks Venkatesh M ---

In Kibana you can define (under Settings) for each field what type to be, like Percentage for float metrics or Bytes for memory usage metrics. Kibana is doing the conversion automatically for you. We provide a script that loads automatically few sample dashboards and defines the index patterns with the proper type of each field. Here are the [steps](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/1.0.0/getting-started.html#load-kibana-dashboards) to follow. ---
