How to interpret CPU and memory stats?

[Ankita_Pachauri]

Hi!

Filebeat logs metric stats in its log file, I am wondering what CPU and memstat mean. Do these show CPU and memory utilization of the beat on the server? Adding a sample for reference.

2023-05-05T10:26:56.954Z        INFO    [monitoring]    log/log.go:145  Non-zero metrics in the last 30s        {"monito
ring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":0,"time":{"ms":1}},"total":{"ticks":0,"time":{"ms":1},"value":0},"u
ser":{"ticks":0}},"info":{"ephemeral_id":"4b4a8c30-96a9-49c3-b9be-1753ae17b8da","uptime":{"ms":10081114}},"memstats":{"g

Kindly Assist.

Yes that is correct, it's a self monitoring log entry.

Thanks Mark for clarifying this, however I also want to understand how I can interpret this, exactly what does cpu and memstats metrics mean here.
