I am using elk stack and metricbeat for getting metrices from windows machines but as socket metricset is not supported for windows, Is there any way to get IP from windows systems through metricbeat. ---

Hi @shahid3507 🙂 I'm not fully sure about what you're looking for. Do you need a tag including the IP of each metric to split your graphs by node? In such case, you can enhance exported data by using `add_host_metadata` processor: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.4/add-host-metadata.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.4/add-host-metadata.html) ---

Yes @Mario_Castro , that is what I exactly want. But can IP be sent with each and every metricset just like hostname is sent. ---

Once you add `add_host_metadata`, IP should be attached to each metric sent. Do you have an example of metrics where IP is and isn't attached? ---

Yes @Mario_Castro , the following is the one with ip ``` { "_index": "metricbeat-6.4.0-2018.09.06", "_type": "logs", "_id": "AWWuDZhYkfhBp1BqVA9c", "_version": 1, "_score": null, "_source": { "@timestamp": "2018-09-06T08:44:10.230Z", "system": { "network": { "name": "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface", "in": { "dropped": 0, "errors": 0, "bytes": 392904, "packets": 4091 }, "out": { "dropped": 0, "bytes": 400140, "errors": 0, "packets": 3464 } } }, "host": { "os": { "family": "windows", "version": "10.0", "build": "14393.2273", "platform": "windows" }, "ip": [ "10.45.0.5", "fe80::5efe:a2d:5", "2001:0:9d38:78cf:842:c889:a17d:ee8a", "fe80::842:c889:a17d:ee8a" ], "name": "host6-1029384756", "id": "4f14c21c-c6c5-493e-bf6e-5018145d95e8", "mac": [ "x:x:x:x:x", "00:00:00:00:00:00:00:e0", "00:00:00:00:00:00:00:e0" ], "architecture": "x86_64" }, "beat": { "name": "host6-1029384756", "hostname": "host6-1029384756", "version": "6.4.0" }, "@version": "1", "metricset": { "name": "network", "module": "system" }, "tags": [ "beats_input_raw_event" ] }, "fields": { "@timestamp": [ 1536223450230 ] }, "sort": [ 1536223450230 ] } ``` and the next one is without ip ``` { "_index": "metricbeat-6.4.0-2018.09.06", "_type": "logs", "_id": "AWWuDZhYkfhBp1BqVA9e", "_version": 1, "_score": null, "_source": { "@timestamp": "2018-09-06T08:44:10.647Z", "system": { "network": { "name": "Ethernet0", "in": { "dropped": 0, "bytes": 42149727, "packets": 187986, "errors": 0 }, "out": { "dropped": 0, "errors": 0, "packets": 207730, "bytes": 182044691 } } }, "beat": { "name": "host6-1029384756", "hostname": "host6-1029384756", "version": "6.4.0" }, "host": { "name": "host6-1029384756" }, "@version": "1", "metricset": { "name": "network", "module": "system" }, "tags": [ "beats_input_raw_event" ] }, "fields": { "@timestamp": [ 1536223450647 ] }, "sort": [ 1536223450647 ] } ``` ---

For me, it seems that the second machine isn't connected to any network and that's why it's not showing up anything. You mentioned that you were shipping data using a socket, right? ---
