Host metricsedit

If you haven’t already, you need to install and configure Metricbeat to populate the Metrics app with data. For more information, see Ingest metrics.

Host metrics are ingested using the Metricbeat system module, which is enabled by default, and become available for analysis in the Metrics app.

To help you analyze the host metrics listed on the Inventory page, you can select view filters based on the following predefined metrics or you can add custom metrics.

CPU Usage

Average of system.cpu.user.pct added to the average of system.cpu.system.pct divided by system.cpu.cores.

Memory Usage

Average of system.memory.actual.used.pct.

Load

Average of system.load.5.

Inbound Traffic

Derivative of the maximum of system.network.in.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.

Outbound Traffic

Derivative of the maximum of system.network.out.bytes scaled to a 1 second rate.

Log Rate

Derivative of the cumulative sum of the document count scaled to a 1 second rate. This metric relies on the same indices as the logs.

For information about which required fields the Metrics app uses to display host metrics, see the Metrics field reference.
