Which module would be best  
metrics beat [Enable more Metrics](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/enable-more-metrics/258764) or something else.  
Goal is to gather data for

- CPU
- Memory
- Process
- Paging
- HBAs  
We have a combination of physical and Virtual Servers .  
I can already see you can collect tons of data for Containers.
