Hi,

I'm looking to get our `nfsiostat` information in metricbeat, but the documentation is bit overwhelming.

I would like to use the diskio logic, but I'm not sure this is the right way to go, because:

- diskio is using [https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/tree/master/disk](https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/tree/master/disk), which doesn't has support for nfs
- the fields don't really match

```auto
iostat -x sdb

Device r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s rrqm/s wrqm/s %rrqm %wrqm r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm %util
sdb 0.00 0.15 0.02 1.43 0.00 0.06 0.07 27.56 0.85 1.35 0.00 20.59 9.65 0.36 0.01

```

vs

```auto
nfsiostat /mount/nfs

          ops/s rpc bklog
      1208.935 0.000

read: ops/s kB/s kB/op retrans avg RTT (ms) avg exe (ms)
                  58.570 1612.577 27.532 2 (0.0%) 1.651 1.941
write: ops/s kB/s kB/op retrans avg RTT (ms) avg exe (ms)
                  17.569 493.741 28.103 0 (0.0%) 3.723 13.969

```

Do I start a completely new metricset (like [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-diskio.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-diskio.html)): "nfsio" ?

Hi @coudenysj If you really feel like Metricbeat is lacking this feature, I encourage you to open an ER on Github to discuss this [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues) as it's a valid concern and maybe you will get feedback before any implementation.
