The message is a `DEBUG`-level message indicating that internal instrumentation is unable to read cgroup information from your system; the message exists to help someone find out _why_ cgroup information is not showing up in the API response or Elastic stack Monitoring dashboards.
It is not an error, and Logstash will operate normally even if it can't read the cgroup information.
