Hey guys,

I want to monitor the hosts in my network and track the ip's and mac's.

I use a metricbeat with "add\_host\_metadata" and "add\_cloud\_metadata" processors. Now i can see all IP's and Mac's of the host, but they are not in the format: IPV4, IPV6, Mac

instead I get a list of ipv4, ipv6, and macs. So I dont know which ip belongs to which mac, if the host have more network interfaces as one. Someone know a solution, where the metric beat send me the info in the format i want?

Thanks and greetings,

Markus
