metricbeat.modules:

- module: system  
metricsets:

Please attach your full configuration. Also, format it using `</>`.  
What is the failure? Do you see any error messages in your logs? Could you attach your full debug logs (`./metricbeat -e -d "*"`)?

hello kvch,

```
 I am trying to know the format/syntax to get metrics of a single process.. Not sure why you are asking logs etc

```

I have followed steps during installation and added [^consolessms.exe$] to get metrics of only consolessms.exe process, but its not working fine and loading all the metrics into elasticsearch.

Let me know if [^consolessms.exe$] syntax is correct. If not Please provide me the format of process -\> processes tag to get metrics of single process in a machine.

Thanks,

Your regex seems fine. Could you please format your configuration properly using `</>` so I can validate that there isn't any whitespace error?  
I am asking for the debug logs, because it might tell us what is going wrong in Metricbeat.
