Hi all,

I have added rabbitplugin using metricbeat.  
file -\> /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/rabbitmq.yml

```auto
# Module: rabbitmq
# Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/8.16/metricbeat-module-rabbitmq.html

- module: rabbitmq
  metricsets: ["node", "queue", "connection", "exchange"]
  enabled: true
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["ip_address:18762"]
  username: "username"
  password: "password"

```

dashboard-\>

as you can see data is not matching. channels, consumers count is not matched.  
**currently there is no data in queue, still it is showing 5 count somehow.**  
Please let me know what else i have to do ?

Thank you in advance.

I'm not a RabbitMQ expert by any means, but could this be down to a regular sending delay? The `period` is set to 10s in the above example, which from the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/8.16/configuration-metricbeat.html#metricset-period) looks to be how often you're pulling the metricset.
