Hello, I am reviewing a client’s cluster and I noticed that it has several index templates from different versions of Metricbeat:

metricbeat-7.17.13  
metricbeat-7.17.5  
metricbeat-7.17.9

Some metrics come with values that seem to be incorrect, for example this one:

Is it possible that there is a conflict between versions that is causing the incorrect values?

Or a version of Metricbeat always send data to its corresponding index template?

Thanks!
