Hi,  
I'm using metricbeat 6.2.1, sending data to ES 6.2.1.  
I see metrics that are different than the ones provided in my Windows system (task manager), see screenshots attached for RAM data.  
Thanks in advance for your help,  
Vincent

If I'm understanding the screenshots of the Task Manager correctly, then it looks like the task manager is aggregating the memory used by all foreground processes of chrome and atom.

Metricbeat is sending the raw un-aggregated metrics for each process instance. Metricbeat's data should be similar to what you see on the "Details" tab in the Task Manager.
