Win 2003 32 bit OS Period(Time) is not correct it is showing default

[dilip]

Hi,
I am using Metricbeat 6.0.0 on WIn 2003 OS 32 Bit .with System module to collect the performance data.
everything is working fine except Period Interval .its taking default as 10s instead of custom like 2m.

Please suggest is this a bug .
example like this .it is not accepting period as a 2 minute instead it is counting as 10s.

- module: system
  period: 2m
  metricsets:
    - cpu
    #- load
    - memory
    - network
    - process
    - process_summary

Could you provide us the debug logs of metricbeat (output of metricbeat -e -d "*")?

In this log, metricbeat ran for only one second.

Can you send us a more complete log where metricbeat has been running for some 5 minutes?

Hi,
Please find the below link for more logs.

This log looks fine, the system module is reporting every 2 minutes, 16:09 and 16:11.

Maybe the issue here is that you expect one event every 2 minutes, but the system module generates multiple events every interval, at least one per enabled metricset. In this case, the process metricset generates one event per process.

Thank you..
