How to stat network interfaces on nodes. We'd like to present network utilization (bitrate) per interface. I'm thinking about metricbeat, which we use actually but there are collection only from the system network. We'd like to have some fields with interface name etc and visualize it. Any suggetsion folks ?  
Found this:  
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces  
metricbeat.modules:

- module: system  
metricsets: [network]  
interfaces: [eth0]

Can someone tell me how to apply this step by step ?

According to your configuration, you selected eth0 interface. If you remove the interfaces entry, you will catch data from network interfaces. See: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-network.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-network.html)

Ok, but i'm not using this configuration yet. Can you tell me how to enable monitoring interfaces ? I'm using default config in the metricbeat and it stats all network interfaces.
