```auto
metricbeat.modules:
- module: aws
  period: 300s
  metricsets:
    - cloudwatch
  metrics:
    - namespace: AWS/NetworkELB
      statistic: ["Maximum"]
      name: ["UnHealthyHostCount"]
      tags.resource_type_filter: elasticloadbalancing
    - namespace: AWS/NetworkELB
      statistic: ["Average"]
      name: ["NewFlowCount"]
      tags.resource_type_filter: elasticloadbalancing

```

with the example, `UnHealthyHostCount` metric cloud have two or three dimensions, `LoadBalancer + TargetGroup` or `LoadBalancer + TargetGroup + AvailabilityZone`, and metricbeat event does not have `aws.tags` field.

`NewFlowCount` metric can be queried by only one dimension `LoadBalancer`, then metricbeat event has aws.tags fields. Aws resource tags is import for analysis or search purpose . Is this a issue or BUG?

Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.
