Hello Team, I have enabled system module in metricbeat but all I see is Processora details in Elasticsearch but I don;t find anything CPU/CORE/DISK related information captured. any idea? **system.yml** Dell-TMO-CT-Cass1:/root\>cat /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/system.yml ```auto - 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 **metricbeat.yml** Dell-TMO-CT-Cass1:/root>cat /etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml | grep setup setup.template.name: "cassandra-beats" setup.template.pattern: "cas-beats-*" setup.template.settings: # options here, or by using the `-setup` CLI flag or the `setup` command. #setup.dashboards.enabled: false #setup.dashboards.url: setup.kibana: # `setup.kibana.host` options.

Hi @chandukreddi 🙂 Can you specify your metricbeat version and you OS? I guess is some kind of Linux Best regards ---

@chandukreddi can you share one of the Elasticsearch documents that are being created in metricbeat? It'd be useful to see exactly which fields are being populated. ---

So, the filesystem metricset in your config is configured to only send events once per minute. That means only some events will have filesystem data. You can read more about that here. In the document you shared I do see CPU stats, so that seems to be working correctly. ---

Thanks Andrew! In case your referring to below lines, I believe that is related to that particular process right? I am looking for overall host CPU usage and LOAD, on top that it also missing diskio, if you look at overall document it just captured only system module process info.

It looks like you're on windows, but windows doesn't offer a load statistic. ---

Do you have the system load metricset enabled? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-load.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-load.html) ---

Hi @Andrew_Cholakian1, Yes I have enabled on sytem.yml file, Do I need to enable anywhere else? and I do see those fields in my Kibana when I disable option hide missing fields, this means its enabled but not capturing any data. --- System module parameters - module: system ---

Hmmm, it should be showing up. I'm not sure why it isn't. @ruflin or @shaunak do you have any ideas here? ---

Yes, it's odd that it's not showing up. @chandukreddi Could you try the following (temporarily for debugging purposes only) to help and narrow down the issue? 1. Disable all modules except `system`. 2. Edit your `./modules.d/system.yml` and only enable the `cpu` metricset. 3. Start up Metricbeat but with the `-e -d"*"` flags. This will generate debugging output. Could you please post this here? Just the first 10 seconds or so of output should be sufficient. Thanks, Shaunak ---
