Hi @jisha , what you are expecting on the metric of process detail?.
In the system module document, have a lot of information: image, path, process args, CPU, memory usage

Running process names ex. W3SVC etc

When you enable the module system in the metricbeat agent, a list of metrics set will be enabled by default:

  metricsets:
    - cpu             # CPU usage
    - load            # CPU load averages
    - memory          # Memory usage
    - network         # Network IO
    - process         # Per process metrics
    - process_summary # Process summary
    - uptime          # System Uptime
    - socket_summary  # Socket summary
    #- core           # Per CPU core usage
    #- diskio         # Disk IO
    #- filesystem     # File system usage for each mountpoint
    #- fsstat         # File system summary metrics
    #- raid           # Raid
    #- socket         # Sockets and connection info (linux only)
    #- service        # systemd service information

You can see, the metric process is enabled, it contains all information about process like process name, process path, process args, command line, working directory ...
