Services internally used by Metricbeat

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi All,
Can we know what the service or applications used by Metric beat to collect the system metrics. I am running metricbeat in windows with windows and system module and on Linux with system module. Can I know what are services that are internally used by metricbeat for collecting data in this module like WMI or any other services.

Thank you,

Hi!

Some information can be found at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-system.html, like permissions on specific system directories for instance. Other than this, I don't think there is a list for the exact resources used by the module right now, but you can always have a look into the code since this is an opensource project :wink:.
