In the packetbeat log,only failed number,but I don't know why. I want to know what's meaning whit the field：active/failed/published/retry/total/acked in the log {"active":0,"failed":5219,"published":44789,"retry":14336,"total":50008},"queue":{"acked":44789}}}.

The full log:  
2019-08-28T17:33:59.004+0800 INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:152 Total non-zero metrics {"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":2660,"time":{"ms":2669}},"total":{"ticks":14350,"time":{"ms":14364},"value":14350},"user":{"ticks":11690,"time":{"ms":11695}}},"handles":{"limit":{"hard":65535,"soft":65535},"open":8},"info":{"ephemeral\_id":"2317945e-5e98-4bc6-94a4-e4e67debe1e4","uptime":{"ms":1138016}},"memstats":{"gc\_next":36753488,"memory\_alloc":18391056,"memory\_total":707197976,"rss":100405248}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0}},"output":{"events":{"acked":44789,"batches":28,"failed":6144,"total":50933},"read":{"bytes":6591},"type":"logstash","write":{"bytes":1994883,"errors":6}},"pipeline":{"clients":1,"events":{"active":0,"failed":5219,"published":44789,"retry":14336,"total":50008},"queue":{"acked":44789}}},"system":{"cpu":{"cores":2},"load":{"1":1.69,"15":1.47,"5":1.53,"norm":{"1":0.845,"15":0.735,"5":0.765}}}}}}
