Tried to find out a way to interpret the metricdata to occur from filebeat. Especially following

- Events rates per sec
- Throughput per sec

`{"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":106810,"time":{"ms":106818}},"total":{"ticks":1115560,"time":{"ms":1115570},"value":1115560},"user":{"ticks":1008750,"time":{"ms":1008752}}},"handles":{"limit":{"hard":4096,"soft":1024},"open":12},"info":{"ephemeral_id":"59e5641b-a819-4400-88fa-ab22ee1b24d2","uptime":{"ms":60274088}},"memstats":{"gc_next":12933456,"memory_alloc":10850856,"memory_total":452110214240,"rss":83804160},"runtime":{"goroutines":50}},"filebeat":{"events":{"active":0,"added":46571840,"done":46571840},"harvester":{"closed":15,"open_files":2,"running":2,"skipped":0,"started":17},"input":{"log":{"files":{"renamed":10,"truncated":0}},"netflow":{"flows":0,"packets":{"dropped":0,"received":0}}}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0,"starts":0,"stops":0},"reloads":1},"output":{"events":{"acked":46571765,"active":0,"batches":29678,"dropped":0,"duplicates":0,"failed":0,"toomany":0,"total":46571765},"read":{"bytes":0,"errors":0},"type":"kafka","write":{"bytes":0,"errors":0}},"outputs":{"kafka":{"bytes_read":5819775,"bytes_write":322805656}},"pipeline":{"clients":2,"events":{"active":0,"dropped":0,"failed":0,"filtered":75,"published":46571765,"retry":7,"total":46571840},"queue":{"acked":46571765}}},"registrar":{"states":{"cleanup":12,"current":22,"update":46571840},"writes":{"fail":0,"success":29721,"total":29721}},"system":{"cpu":{"cores":4},"load":{"1":2.04,"15":8.8,"5":6.88,"norm":{"1":0.51,"15":2.2,"5":1.72}}}}`

Any input to interpret better?

Review the doc page to find interesting metrics: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.8/exported-fields-beat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.8/exported-fields-beat.html)
