Thanks for the pointers. Turns out I was the one who missed something simple...I did not realize you need to enable healthcheck on the docker container side . I thought it was a metric that was automatically generated (similar to the other metrics, such as "container", "cpu", "memory", etc.). I exposed the healthcheck in a docker container and now metricbeat does indeed publish healthcheck entries.

Thanks for your help!
