I am sending the Prometheus scraped data to Elasticsearch through Metricbeat on 'remote write' option. However I am getting two fields as prometheus.labels.\* and prometheus.metrics.\* for every different fields. Is my configuration is something wrong or is this way Prometheus & Elasticsearch writes each fields in 2 different field tags??
