I am trying to located system.process.cpu.user.ticks but I can't find it on my output.

do I have to enable something in my system.module file?

I only have following for system.process

```
          "cpu" => {
                     "total" => {
                    "value" => 179270,
                      "pct" => 0.003,
                     "norm" => {
                        "pct" => 0.0004
                    }
                },
```

hi @elasticforme, what is the Metricbeat version you are running? By default the cumulative CPU tick values are not reported so you will have to enable the setting `process.include_cpu_ticks` [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-process.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-process.html).

it worked. I added total.ticks, users.ticks and systems.ticks and I got the data.
