Hey all,
Trying to understand the working of metrics beat for measuring System metrics. I could infer from the code that gopsutil
is being used for measuring it, i wanted to know more about the storage layer used for pushing these metrics.

Hi @whiletruelearn and welcome
Not sure if this answers your question, but Metricbeat doesn't store metrics, it supports several outputs to push the metrics eventually to Elasticsearch. You can find more about them here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.0/configuring-output.html
@jsoriano Thanks.
I was mostly trying to understand the underlying datastructure which i presume holds the data for a short period of time before pushing to kafka/elastic etc.
@whiletruelearn all beats keep an internal queue with the reported events before they are sent to the outputs, you can read a bit about it and how it is configured in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.0/configuring-internal-queue.html
