Hi,
I am using ELK stack 7.1 on AWS RHEL 7.2. I could only get hold of the above environment to install ELK. I would like to monitor system metrics (CPU, Memory, Disk) of few instances and i collect the information via metricbeat 7.1. I am able to view the reported nodes under the "Infrastructure" icons. However, i'm not sure on how to visualize the data in dashboard with graphs. My requirement:
- Display graphs of CPU Memory Disk utilization for each node in dashboard.
Thanks,
---

Hi Ganesh, did you follow all of the steps in the "Getting started with Metricbeat" docs? There are a few steps there which will set up Kibana dashboards for you so you can visualize this information:
[Step 2: Configure Metricbeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-configuration.html) walks you through configuring Metricbeat to communicate with Kibana in substeps 3 and 4. This is critical in order for Metricbeat to set up the dashboards in Kibana.
[Step 3: Load the index template in Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-template.html) describes how to load the index template that ES will use to define the settings and mappings for incoming Metricbeat data. Be careful that you use the _default index template_. Changing the index template may break the dashboards.
[Step 4: Set up the Kibana dashboards](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/load-kibana-dashboards.html) is the final critical step, and will result in dashboards for you to see in Kibana.
I hope this helps!

Hi cjcenizal,
This solved.. thank you. In addition, is there a way i could monitor the windows & Linux disk space utilization? For now, the Linux/Windows just throws a whole disk space. I would like to get it in dashboard the utilization of "C: D: E:" in case of windows and '/', '/home' , '/opt' in case of linux.

Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with Metricbeat to help with that level of detail. Could you try asking your question again in the [Metricbeat forum](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/beats/metricbeat)?
