There are multiple metrics being sent to Apm Server for a specific node per interval. The documents contain the same data and structure though are a bit different. **Kibana version** : 7.17.1 **Elasticsearch version** : 7.17.1 **APM Server version** : 7.17.1 **APM Agent language and version** : 1.11.1+ca11381c8840632c65925393de57797871b359c5 or 1.15.0+03d5f13cfbcb431ef0ee7cec6c88734dbf6d7540 **Steps to reproduce** : 1."ElasticApm:MetricsInterval": "30s", 2. Wait for metrics to be sent 3. Filter data in apm-\*-metrics by - processor.name: metric - processor.event: metric - metricset.name: app 1. You can observe multiple documents per interval per single host.hostname ![image-20220727-092020](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/2/929f4dab2d709fbb8a82469fb8d6f8056749f5a0.jpeg) **Expected Behaviour** : If we send metrics every 30s I expect single metrics document every 30s. Now they are multiple documents with the similar timestamp. Is this a bug or expected behavior? ---
