Required fields
editRequired fields
editThis section lists the fields the Infrastructure UI uses to display data. Please note that some of the fields listed here are not ECS fields.
Additional field details
editThe event.dataset
field is required to display data properly in some views. This field
is a combination of metricset.module
, which is the Metricbeat module name, and metricset.name
,
which is the metricset name.
To determine each metric’s optimal time interval, all charts use metricset.period
.
If metricset.period
is not available, then it falls back to 1 minute intervals.
Base fields
editThe base
field set contains all fields which are on the top level. These fields are common across all types of events.

For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer.

If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message. Example: |
