There are some internal counters that can be exposed through running with the `-httpprof` option: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-command-line.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-command-line.html) But as this exposes also lots of debug information it is not recommended to run it in production.

WIth filebeat 5.0 you have every 30s in the log a summary of the events changed metrics. Also keep an eye on this issue here: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/463](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/463)
