Dears,

I'm trying to send some inputs from Topbeat to Cloudwatch, but I do not know how to obtain more than one metric, as if I put them into an array, only the first one is obtained.

I attach my config file (In cloudwatch I obtain the metric "Load1" but does not appear "Load15"):

input {  
beats {  
port =\> 5044  
codec =\> "json"  
}  
}

filter {  
if ([type] =~ 'system') {  
mutate{  
add\_field =\> ["CW\_metricname", ["Load1","Load15"]]  
add\_field=\>["CW\_value",["%{[load][load1]}","%{[load][load15]}"]]  
add\_field =\> ["CW\_namespace", "GetStarted"]  
}  
}  
}

output {  
cloudwatch {  
access\_key\_id =\> "my\_access"  
secret\_access\_key =\> "my\_secret"  
region =\> "myregion"  
}  
}
