If I run an embedded instance of ES, the node stats are not very meaningful

```
        "os": {
            "timestamp": 1320633257541,
            "uptime": "-1 seconds",
            "uptime_in_millis": -1000,
            "load_average": []
        }

```

whereas if it's run as a standalone app, the stats look much better:

```
       "os": {
            "timestamp": 1320633282312,
            "uptime": "86 hours, 8 minutes and 57 seconds",
            "uptime_in_millis": 310137000,
            "load_average": [
                0.13,
                0.13,
                0.08
            ], ...etc

```

Am I missing anything? Bug or feature?

Cheers  
Alex

Elasticsearch uses some native libraries to get that information. Look  
for the libsigar\*.so files in your ES installation. If you're not  
providing those in a way ES can load, you'll miss out on OS level  
metrics.

Yea, that info comes from sigar, so you can include it in your classpath  
(with the relevant native lib) when you embed elasticsearch.
