See the [configuration options](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/5.6/metricbeat-metricset-system-filesystem.html#_configuration_2) for the filesystem metricset. I recommend using the `filesystem.ignore_types` if the mounted filesystem types are different that the local FS type. Otherwise use the processors to filter from the mount\_points you want to ignore.

Thanks Andrew. Tried the suggested option but the data I am getting from Beat is not matching with actual data.

Thanks & Regards,

How are they different? Can you provide some more info about the problem (data from Metricbeat, data you are comparing it with, OS).
