Hi, I started playing with metricbeat. I set logstash module

> - module: logstash  
> #metricsets:
> # - node
> 
> # - node\_stats
> period: 30s  
> hosts: ["localhost:9600"]

and it works, output is ES index. When I get last event it shows some values

But I would like to use it for real-time monitoring. If I turn off logstash and metricbeat is sending every 30s events to ES, I am quering ES every 40s, I would like to see an failure. And I can but when I turn logstash on I still see failure events, even after one hour. I thought fields will be reset every 30s.

Thanks for help

Unfortunately the failures don't end up in the normal metric indices. Could you check whether they find in the indices matching `metricbeat-*`?

What failure events are you referring to?
