Hi,

Below is my Elasticsearch Beat module config:

> - module: elasticsearch  
> metricsets:
> - cluster\_stats
> - index
> - index\_recovery
> - index\_summary
> - node
> - node\_stats
> - pending\_tasks
> - shard  
> period: 10s  
> hosts: ["localhost:9200"]

But I still don't see any data for other stuff in my monitoring ES cluster, like cluster\_stats or shard etc.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @napsterX 🙂

That configuration doens't seem a valid YAML for Metricbeat. Maybe you can try to wrap it under triple sticks `?

In this link you can see the full reference of Metricbeats [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-reference-yml.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-reference-yml.html)

Yah, it got reformatted 😕

Anyways, I actually moved away from MetricBeat, and using ElasticSearch Exporter for reporting metrics now.

Please feel free to close the ticket.

Thanx
