Hi, I am using metricbeat 7.6. The following is my system.yaml

```auto
- module: system
  period: 10s
  metricsets:
    - cpu
    - load
    - memory
    - network
    - process
    - process_summary
    - socket_summary

  process.include_top_n:
    by_cpu: 5 # include top 5 processes by CPU
    by_memory: 5 # include top 5 processes by memory

- module: system
  period: 10s
  metricsets:
    - filesystem
    - fsstat
  processors:
  - drop_event.when.regexp:
      system.filesystem.mount_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|host)($|/)'

- module: system
  period: 15m
  metricsets:
    - uptime

```

Nothing shows up under filesystem  
`curl http://localhost:9187/metrics | grep filesystem`

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do when curling `/metrics`. I do not see any endpoints or outputs enabled in your configuration. By default the metrics from Metricbeat can be seen using Kibana via its dashboards: [System module | Metricbeat Reference [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-system.html#_dashboard_37)
