I'm trying to add `host.ip` and `host.mac` fields to filebeat events, but the fields are not showing up in Kibana.

I'm using the following related configuration in `filebeat.yml`:

```auto
processors:
  - add_host_metadata:
      netinfo.enabled: true
      geo:
        # Token describing this location
        name: my_geo_name
        location: "my_lat, my_long"
        continent_name: my_continent
        country_iso_code: my_country_code
        region_name: my_region
        region_iso_code: my_region_code
        city_name: my_city

```

And this is one of the results after applying the configuration:

```auto
    "host": {
      "geo": {
        "continent_name": "my_continent",
        "region_iso_code": "my_region_code",
        "city_name": "my_city",
        "country_iso_code": "my_country_code",
        "name": "my_geo_name",
        "location": "my_lat, my_long",
        "region_name": "my_region"
      },
      "name": "my_hostname"
    },

```

Note that I waited for ~30 mins to discard any caching issues.

I see the following errors in `/var/log/beats/filebeat`, but I'm not sure they are related:

```auto
2020-07-08T11:54:11.630-0400 ERROR instance/metrics_file_descriptors.go:39 Error while retrieving FD information: error retrieving process stats: cannot find matching process for pid=62706
2020-07-08T11:54:11.630-0400 ERROR instance/metrics.go:92 Error while getting memory usage: error retrieving process stats: cannot find matching process for pid=62706
2020-07-08T11:54:11.630-0400 ERROR instance/metrics.go:136 Error retrieving CPU percentages: error retrieving process stats: cannot find matching process for pid=62706

```

I've seen other threads discussing such log errors in FreeBSD with no apparent resolution.

Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks for any pointers.

Some more information about my environment:

- Filebeat host: FreeBSD 12.1
- Elastic/Kibana host: FreeBSD 12.1
- Elastic/Kibana version: 7.7.1
- Beats version: 7.7.1
