I am using the latest Metricbeat from GitHub, cross compiled for use on aarch64. I have a device that was submitting default system statistics to Elastic just fine on Friday. Monday, it was not showing on the System Overview dashboard despite attempting to remake the dashboard with `# ./metricbeat setup` after clearing indices. Tuesday (this morning) I found that it was in fact submitting data up until a mysterious power cut, and hasn't been working at all since, despite the Metricbeat client seemingly showing success for every update. Relevant areas of `metricbeat.yml`: ```auto # =================================== Kibana =================================== # Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API. # This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration. setup.kibana: # Kibana Host # Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601) # In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path # IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601 host: "172.24.0.201:5601" # Kibana Space ID # ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded.
