Hi Shirly, for the interface plugin, the signalfx documentation says: 

"You can view this metric as a Rate/sec or a cumulative count (Max).

Rate/sec: Provides the current traffic level on the interface in bytes/sec.

Max: Provides the cumulative count of bytes received. Note that since this metric is a cumulative counter, its value will periodically restart from zero when the maximum possible value of the counter is exceeded."

Do we support this feature, and if so how is it implemented, in the Kibana UI or does something in the plugin need to be configured?
