Hi @Bhavesh_Padharia, I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. There are several system metricsets that are enabled by default in config.yml. For example, for metricbeat 6.5: cpu, load, memory, network, process, process\_summary and uptime are enabled by default. Please see link: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/6.5/metricbeat/module/system/\_meta/config.yml](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/6.5/metricbeat/module/system/_meta/config.yml)

If you want to enable more metricsets under system module, then you need to manually enable them in the configuration.
