Hi ,  
We have configured metricbeats to montior our local system CPU,memory and disk space usage,the following is my metricbeat.yml file content:

> metricbeat.modules:
> 
> - module: system  
> metricsets:
> # CPU stats
> 
> - cpu

> ```
> # System Load stats
> - load
>

The above config is not working for us , actually we want CPU,Memory and disk space usage for the system module, But it is not giving me memory usage , How to configure multiple metricsets in same config file?? Can you please help me in this I am new to metricbeats, and elasticserach.

Thanks in Advance!!

Can you post your config as a pastebin? Somehow the formatting here is broken.

You might have an indentation issue, the first `metricsets` block needs to be indented with 2 spaces. Also, you seem to define the metric sets twice, which doesn't make sense.
