Hi there,

my use case is the following:

I want to see read write operations per user on a file on a linux vm. I am shipping the metrics using metricbeat so I should have all required data alrady. I am just struggeling with the creation of the proper visualization.

You have any idea how I can create such a visualization and based on what metrics?

Thank you
