Configure settings

edit

By default, the configuration settings for the Metrics app are enabled. The configuration uses the metricbeat-* and metrics-* index patterns to query the data. The configuration also defines field settings for things like timestamps and container names.

Override configuration settings

edit
  1. To access this page, go to Observability > Metrics.

  2. Click Settings.

    You can override the following configuration settings.

    Name

    Name of the source configuration.

    Indices

    Index pattern or patterns in the Elasticsearch indices to read metrics data from.

    Fields

    Configuring fields input has been deprecated. You should adjust your indexing using the Metrics app fields, which use the Elastic Common Schema (ECS) specification.

    Machine learning

    Specify the minimum severity score required to display anomalies in the Metrics app.

  3. When you have completed your changes, click Apply.

    If the fields are grayed out and cannot be edited, you may not have sufficient privileges to change the source configuration. For more information see Granting access to Kibana.

    If Spaces are enabled in your Kibana instance, any configuration changes you make here are specific to the current space. You can make different subsets of data available by creating multiple spaces with different data source configurations.
