Even though field data breaker was triggered on my cluster, the metric still shows it as 0.

I am assuming it is based on os.timestamp which shows the last time these stats are refreshed.  
Based on this: [https://github.com/tallpsmith/elasticsearch/blob/a8be99b7e07d0b0a00477b1f6581fc83d24d0bba/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/monitor/os/OsService.java](https://github.com/tallpsmith/elasticsearch/blob/a8be99b7e07d0b0a00477b1f6581fc83d24d0bba/modules/elasticsearch/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/monitor/os/OsService.java) , I am assuming it is refreshed every 5 seconds?
