Hello,  
Could someone help me to understand how Elastic Agent performed API calls to Azure monitor for metrics ingestion is being calculated?  
The following snippet of configuration:

```auto
period: 60s
client_id: xxxx
client_secret: xxxx
tenant_id: xxxx
subscription_id: xxxx
refresh_list_interval: 60s
resources:
  - resource_query: "resourceType eq 'Microsoft.EventHub/Namespaces'"
    metrics:
      - name: 
          - ActiveConnections
        namespace: "Microsoft.EventHub/Namespaces"
        timegrain: PT1M
        ignore_unsupported: true
      - name:
          - IncomingMessages
          - OutgoingMessages
          - IncomingBytes
          - OutgoingBytes
          - Size  
        namespace: "Microsoft.EventHub/Namespaces"
        timegrain: PT1M
        dimensions:
            - name: EntityName
              value: '*'
        ignore_unsupported: true

```

Results in 3 documents in Elasticsearch every minute:  
1 document for metric that does not support dimensions;  
1 document for metrics that support dimension EntityName at Namespace level;  
1 document for metrics that support dimension EntityName at Event Hub level.

Does it mean one document = 1 API call? And 3 documents in one minute = 3 API calls in one minute?
