Hi all,
I need to build a visualization/dashboard (maybe a simple bar graph) with applicational indexes total size (total.store.size).
By now, I'm getting it from Kibana dev console, using 'GET index/\_stats?level=cluster&human=true&filter\_path=\*\*.total.store.size',
Can someone point any doc(s) where I can find info about it?
Thank you.

Visualizations are created from indexed data, but you want to render results from an Elasticsearch API so I'm afraid there is not a direct way to do this. You would need to set up a separate process to collect those stats, and insert them on a regular index.

Hi @mcosta,
Please consider using Stack Monitoring page instead as it provides a lot of cluster metrics [Elasticsearch Monitoring Metrics | Kibana Guide [8.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/elasticsearch-metrics.html)
