Hello,  
I am using Elastic Agent to monitor IIS application pools, but I noticed that the `status` field is missing from the collected data. I expected Metricbeat to provide an indication of whether an application pool is running or stopped, but I don't see this field in the ingested documents.

The iis.application\_pool.process object contains various metrics such as thread\_count, private\_bytes, and io\_operations, but there is no direct field indicating whether the application pool is running or stopped.

Could you confirm if this is expected behavior? If so, what would be the recommended way to determine the application pool status directly from Metricbeat?
