I finally managed to get oVirt metrics store running. I loaded sample dashboards, searches and visualizations in to Kibana from /etc/ovirt-engine-metrics/dashboards-examples. When importing searches and visualizations there are warnings about missing index patterns.

It appears that the "VM" dashboard is completely broken, no stats are showing on it at all including simple stats such as running VM count.

The other two dashboards Hosts and System are working and showing all stats (sans VM count on the host dashboard).

I believe I have a cash here of either missing indexes or potentially an issue with the example dashboards? I can see that collectd is running on all hosts and has the virt plugin loaded.

What part of the config is responsible for suppling the VM information/indexes?
