Hi

i am using 6.8 metricbeat and server is 7.12 .  
a. add host metricset and got error , so enable add\_host\_metadata : ~  
b . as per documentation . add\_host\_metadata it should collect  
"host":{  
"architecture":"x86\_64",  
"name":"example-host",  
"id":"",  
"os":{  
"family":"darwin",  
"build":"16G1212",  
"platform":"darwin",  
"version":"10.12.6",  
"name":"Mac OS X"  
},

but it is not having os.build details and also .i see os.family & other fields are blank  
what command it is using internally or is there any known bugs
