Metric visualizations in Kibana are a simple way to really emphasize something about your data. This hands-on lab is dedicated to demonstrating just how powerful a simple metric visualization can be.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:
- Create and Save the “System Load” Metric Visualization
- Create a new metric visualization.
- Calculate the average of
system.load.1, and label it as "Load 1." - Calculate the average of
system.load.5, and label it as "Load 5." - Calculate the average of
system.load.15, and label it as "Load 15." - Save the visualization as "System Load."
- Create and Save the “System Uptime” Metric Visualization
- Configure the
system.uptime.duration.msfield to display as a human-readable duration. - Create a new metric visualization.
- Calculate the max value of
system.uptime.duration.ms, and label it as "Uptime." - Save the visualization as "System Uptime."
- Configure the
- Create and Save the “System Processes by State” Metric Visualization
- Create a new metric visualization.
- Compute the count of documents, and label it as "Processes."
- Split the metric on the top 5 of
system.process.stateordered by the count of documents in descending order and labeled as "State." - Save the visualization as "System Processes by State."
