My config is like this:

  • module: system
    period: 10s
    metricsets:

    • cpu
      #- load
      #- memory
      #- network
      #- process
      #- process_summary
      #- core
      #- diskio
      #- socket
      processes: ['.*']
      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: 1m
    metricsets:

    • filesystem
    • fsstat
      processors:
    • drop_event.when.regexp:
      system.filesystem.mount_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|etc|host|lib)($|/)'

  • module: system
    period: 15m
    metricsets:

    • uptime

  • module: system
    metricsets: cpu

  • module: system
    metricsets: [cpu]
    cpu.metrics: ["percentages", "normalized_percentages"]
