Hello everyone,  
I went over the code for a few Logstash plugins and noticed they had metrics that I can't see when running:  
`curl http://localhost:9600/_node/stats`

I'm talking about metrics like:

> <https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-beats/blob/a6cdac9f80e21023ba6ea42c0cd55e6c0ab34a8d/lib/logstash/inputs/beats/message_listener.rb#L201>

And a few other places I found in other plugins (some are in filter plugins like dissect).

Am I missing something? Or do these metrics just not show up in the stats API?  
Thanks in advance!

I don't think they are visible. You have [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-logstash.html) LS metric fields.

I'm using the stats API and not Metricbeat.  
The weird thing is that I do see other metrics (such as "workers" and "queue\_size" for the udp input plugin).  
I'm not sure why some of the metrics are visible in the node stats API and some aren't.

Never mind, I only checked the code and the basic configuration without connecting a beat to the running Logstash. Only then the metrics showed up.
