[Metrics UI] Inconsistent metrics across panels

Open Danouchka opened this issue 3 years ago • 11 comments

Kibana version: 8.4.3

Elasticsearch version: 8.4.3

Server OS version: Elastic Cloud Belgium GCP N2

Browser version: Latest Chrome

Browser OS version: Mac OSX Monterrey latest

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): Elastic Agent installed via rpm

Describe the bug: Inconsistent Metrics across Panels in Infrastructure view, in particular about CPU

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Elastic-Agent with Linux and System integrations on Centos7 machines
  2. Install a few processes such as Logstash, shell scripts
  3. Observe Infrastucture > Inventory panels, play around, enable autorefresh

**Bug Description ** In the main page, my server is reporting continuously 78~79% of CPU usage If I click on the server, I can see now in the popped up panel, in Metrics tab, that the CPU is switching all the time between [0%-1%] and [40% - 50] ranges even if I display on the last hour. The scale should be constant and this switching avoided... The result is that we dont know which figure to trust

In this same popped up panel, if I click on Processes, I see only a few processes whereas I expect to see more like htop Also, all processes seems to be in Sleeping whereas they are Running, which means that there may be an issue with those processes.

Conclusion, the popped up panel does not make the job and present inconsistent misleading metrics

@smith @neptunian could we add this to our Bug backlog for 8.7 ?

The first part of the issue is a duplicate of https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/133127 Could we rewrite this issue to focus on the Processes tab issues you're seeing?

@pmeresanu85 I added it to refining to make sure it gets rewritten to focus on the part that's not already written in the other issue Milton specified.

@smith thank you for the heads up

pmeresanu85 avatar Nov 10 '22 12:11 pmeresanu85

Hey @smith should this one go back into the backlog?

Looks like it probably needs redefining/reprioritising? I'm happy to pick this up

Closing - we'll be superseding the existing inventory with a new one where we can ensure consistency with metrics
