`metricset.name` should be `diskio` and not `disk`. This is at least what I am seeing in my data.

Thanks for the data. As some more data.json were imcomplete I opened the PR here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/2465](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/2465) Hopefully this means all data.json are up-to-date in the future.
