Hello Team,  
For metricbeat prometheus module we need output for a particular time interval.. How can we add the filter in at modules.d/prometheus.yml to get the output for a particular time interval.. Request for your help..  
Current prometheus.yml file is as follows.. How we can add time range in this prometheus.yml of metricbeat?

```auto
$ cat modules.d/prometheus.yml
- module: prometheus
  hosts: ["http://localhost:9090"]
  metrics_path: '/federate'
  ssl.verification_mode: none
  period: 20m
  query: 
    'match[]':
       - '{ __name__ =~"container_cpu.*|container_memory.*|container_network.*|alertmanager_alerts.*|kube_node_info.*"}'
  metrics_filters:
     include: []
     exclude: []

  # Use Elasticsearch histogram type to store histograms (beta, default: false)
  # This will change the default layout and put metric type in the field name
  use_types: true

```

Hello! I don't think we support only collecting metrics from a set time frame in Metricbeat. But you can definitely do the filtering in Kibana after all the metrics are collected based on the timestamp field.
