Hi Team, I have been using metricbeat to monitor my server based on cpu utilization. I am using ingest node feature provided by elasticsearch. The problem is when i pushed the cpu data it push the data based on per core. So when plotting the graph i have to change the axis max and axis min based on core available in server. For example if the system is having 4 core, then i have to set the axis max to 4. can i not read the data from the metricbeat field i.e **system.cpu.cores**. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/b/cb8c12db8b6da626a47504aeb19b6ad0fb1f6736.png) So what i really want is to pass the value of **system.cpu.cores** , the data gathered by the metricbeat Is their a possibility that i can do it. Regards, Sourav Suman ---

Hi Sourav, The Axis Max refers to the Y-Axis of the visualization which, according to your screenshot, is a percentage. This number should be between 0 and 1 (ex. 0.75 = 75%). So setting the Axis Max value to 4 would change the top of the Y-Axis to 400%. Is that your intention? ---

Hi Nick, @nickpeihl yes, you understand half right. Their are two points right now that i am considering : - If i am plotting graph based on Core, then i need to pass the core value manually i.e i have to check the core every time for the respective system and pass the value to Axis Max. If possible can i not pass the value from the **cpu** metricset which provides a field **system.cpu.cores**. - second is if 1st point is not possible can i not scale the Y-axis graph between 0 and 1. So in that case i don't need to worry about the cores while viewing the graph. Thanks Sourav Suman ---

@nickpeihl Can we do anything about it? Thanks Sourav ---
