HI, I just installed metricbeat and I see that there are about 326 fields available for the metricbeat indexes on the kibana dashboard.

I'm only seeing 71 fields that are being populated.

I'm particulary interested in(but they're not being populated):  
system.process.cpu.system  
system.process.cpu.user

I'm currently running centos 7.1.1503 and metricbeat version 5.0.0-alpha5 (amd)64, libbeat 5.0.0-alpha5

My config file is as follows( I typed it in so there might be some mistypes):

metricbeat.modules:

- module: system  
metricsets:

output.elasticsearch:  
hosts: ["foo", "bar]

Those [fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-system.html#_system_process_cpu_user) should be present when `cpu_ticks: true` is configured. But there was a [bug](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/3776) affecting the process metricset that will be fixed in the next minor release.

Yeah. Tried it with cpu\_ticks set to true/false on the latest version(5.4) and it didn't work.

So 5.5? Could I pull master and test with that for now?
