Creating Gauge Visualizations with the Time Series Visual Builder (TSVB) in Kibana 7.6

We can use the TSVB in Kibana to create gauge visualizations specifically for time series data by only visualizing the latest value in the series rather than an aggregation of an overall time window. In this hands-on lab, we will demonstrate this ability by creating gauge visualizations from time series data using the TSVB.

Challenge

Create and Save the System Load Visualization
1. Create a new gauge visualization with the TSVB.
2. Calculate the average of system.load.norm.5, label it as Load, and format it as a percent.
3. Configure the visualization with a max value of 1 and the following thresholds:
  - Color the gauge green if system load is less than 80% (0.8).
  - Color the gauge yellow if system load is greater than or equal to 80% (0.8).
  - Color the gauge red if system load is equal to 100% (1).
4. Configure the visualization to show the latest value with greater than or equal to 10 second intervals.
5. Save the visualization as "System Load".
Challenge

Create and Save the CPU Usage Visualization
1. Create a new gauge visualization with the TSVB.
2. Calculate the average of system.cpu.total.pct, label it as CPU, and format it as a percent.
3. Configure the visualization with a max value of 1 and the following thresholds:
  - Color the gauge green if CPU usage is less than 80% (0.8).
  - Color the gauge yellow if CPU usage is greater than or equal to 80% (0.8).
  - Color the gauge red if CPU usage is equal to 100% (1).
4. Configure the visualization to show the latest value with greater than or equal to 10 second intervals.
5. Save the visualization as "CPU Usage".
Challenge

Create and Save the Memory Usage Visualization
1. Create a new gauge visualization with the TSVB.
2. Calculate the average of system.memory.used.pct, label it as Memory, and format it as a percent.
3. Configure the visualization with a max value of 1 and the following thresholds:
  - Color the gauge green if memory usage is less than 70% (0.7).
  - Color the gauge yellow if memory usage is greater than or equal to 70% (0.7).
  - Color the gauge red if memory usage is greater than or equal to 90% (0.9).
4. Configure the visualization to show the latest value with greater than or equal to 10 second intervals.
5. Save the visualization as "Memory Usage".
