In the list of exported fields listed [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-system.html), `system.cpu.total.value` is listed > **`system.cpu.total.value`** > > type: long > > The value of CPU usage since starting the process. However, from the CPU output and from source file [here](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/system/cpu/cpu.go), I don't see the `total.value` field. Is that a bug? Or am I missing something. ---

Hi @Sundar_V, Thanks for reporting this, I agree that it looks inconsistent with the documentation, `system.process.cpu.total.value` exists, but not the other field. Could you [open an issue](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new) in github? ---
