Hi,

I am new user of filebeat and need to understand few information from the filebeat logs. Currently, I have deployed filebeat on windows system.

In the logs metrics information are logged every 30 sec but i am unable to understand, what exactly they mean. I would appreciate if someone here could help me undertstand these metrics or provide some meaningful reference documents/pointer that will help me understand it little better.

`log/log.go:145	Non-zero metrics in the last 30s	{"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":312,"time":{"ms":312}},"total":{"ticks":577,"time":{"ms":577},"value":577},"user":{"ticks":265,"time":{"ms":265}}},"handles":{"open":279},"info":{"ephemeral_id":"5b9a30f4-5a06-4824-852e-91d3c0a290f0","uptime":{"ms":32268}},"memstats":{"gc_next":14785888,"memory_alloc":8751448,"memory_total":37856472,"rss":49917952},"runtime":{"goroutines":24}},"filebeat":{"harvester":{"open_files":0,"running":0}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0},"reloads":1,"scans":1},"output":{"type":"file"},"pipeline":{"clients":1,"events":{"active":0}}},"registrar":{"states":{"current":0}},"system":{"cpu":{"cores":8}}}}} 2021-07-01T01:33:44.401+0530	INFO	[monitoring]	log/log.go:145	Non-zero metrics in the last 30s	{"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":328,"time":{"ms":16}},"total":{"ticks":593,"time":{"ms":16},"value":593},"user":{"ticks":265}},"handles":{"open":277},"info":{"ephemeral_id":"5b9a30f4-5a06-4824-852e-91d3c0a290f0","uptime":{"ms":62267}},"memstats":{"gc_next":14785888,"memory_alloc":8905752,"memory_total":38010776,"rss":53248},"runtime":{"goroutines":24}},"filebeat":{"harvester":{"open_files":0,"running":0}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0}},"pipeline":{"clients":1,"events":{"active":0}}},"registrar":{"states":{"current":0}}}}}`

I have gone through the below document, but it's has nothing which anyone can understand clearly 😷
