I am unable to find /dev/shm data of my hosts on which I have installed metricbeat and enabled a below metricset:  
metricsets:  
- filesystem  
- fsstat  
processors:

- drop\_event.when.regexp:  
system.filesystem.mount\_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|etc|host|lib)($|/)'

Please find a system.yml configuration below:

# Module: system

# Docs: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.6/metricbeat-module-system.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.6/metricbeat-module-system.html)

- module: system  
period: 10s  
metricsets:  
#- cpu

- module: system  
period: 1m  
metricsets:

- module: system  
period: 15m  
metricsets:

- module: system  
metricsets:  
cpu.metrics: ["percentages", "normalized\_percentages"]

#- module: system

# period: 5m

# metricsets:

# - raid

# raid.mount\_point: '/'

Note: While I am filtering the term system.filesystem.device\_name:"/dev/shm" , it is showing no result found in kibana. Please guide me through system.yml configuration.

Do you see no data at all or only this device is missing?

Only this device is missing from system.filesystem.device\_name field!  
everything else from system data is available to choose from the values under tha field.

What happens if you remove the `drop_event` part from the config? Will you then see it?

Thanks ruflin,

I assume that having a drop\_event in config file, it is taking all other devices listed under /dev/\* then ideally it should list /dev/shm also. I wonder of this happening. Kindly correct me if I interpreted it wrong.
