Well... you need to provide more reference points. Which operating system are you running on? Which Beats version? Do you have dbus installed?

hi @Shriram_Wasule, the `load` metricset is only available for linux systems since load averages are considered linux specific. You will have to disable the `load` metricset option inside the `system.yml` config file.
