Hello,  
I use Metricbeat 7.15 to collect metrics from a JBoss EAP application server. The applicaion-specific metrics are available at: [http://localhost:10090/metrics/application](http://localhost:10090/metrics/application)

I configured the openmetrics module like this:

```auto
# Module: openmetrics
# Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.x/metricbeat-module-openmetrics.html

- module: openmetrics
  metricsets: ['collector']
  period: 10s
  hosts: ['localhost:10090']

  metrics_path: "/metrics/application"
  metrics_filters:
    include: []
    exclude: []

```

But it seems that the parameter `metrics_path` is ignored and the default value `/metrics` is always used. Even if I change it to something invalid like `/xxmetrics`, the metrics are still queried from `/metrics`.

Is my configuration wrong or is this an issue in the openmetrics module?

Thanks!  
Stephan
