Hello,

Could someone help me understand where I can find metrics that provide insights into Shard Recoveries, such as the number of Shard Recoveries?

I am using the Elasticsearch module with Elastic Agent to collect data from Elasticsearch. I have reviewed all the listed modules, particularly the `index_recovery` metricset, but I cannot find anything that provides the number of Shard Recoveries.  
Reference link to module: [Elasticsearch index\_recovery metricset | Metricbeat Reference [8.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-elasticsearch-index_recovery.html)

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
