Hello,

I'm using metric filter to count all events received from each server i have (separatelly).  
The value i get is not real, count show a number which is higher than the real events i received.

metrics {  
meter =\> ["%{host}"]  
flush\_interval =\> 30  
clear\_interval =\> 300  
}

real event are 50 and metrics count (that is showed in kibana, all grouped) shows 430.

Am i doing anything wrong?

Thanks
