  period: 10s

output.elasticsearch:
  hosts: ["<elasticsearchhosts>"]

```

the 'status' metric is working fine and I'm seeing the data in elasticsearch... not sure why the other two metrics are not working.. please help!

It seems there is a conflict in the index mapping mixing an object with a different type.

I see that you removed the Beat version from the index pattern. This can potentially lead to conflicts if you have different Beats running. Can you try to send that to a fresh index and see if you still see the issue? Did you load the template for Metricbeat?

Also I would recommend you to use a more recent version of Metricbeat like 6.3.
