Metricbeat sends process metrics even if it is disabled










0















i have the following config for metricbeat:



metricbeat.config.modules:
path: $path.config/modules.d/*.yml
reload.enabled: false

metricbeat_modules:
- module: system
metricsets:
- cpu
- load
- memory
- network
- diskio
enabled: true
period: 10s
tags: ['os']
cpu.metrics: ['percentages']
core.metrics: ['percentages']

setup.template:
name: metricbeat_index
pattern: metricbeat_index -*
settings:
index:
number_of_shards: 1
codec: best_compression

tags: [ join(', ') ]

fields:
env: metricbeat_env

output.elasticsearch:
hosts: to_json
index: " metricbeat_index -%+yyyy-MM-dd"

setup.dashboards.directory: /usr/share/metricbeat/kibana

setup.kibana:
host: metricbeat_kibana_url

processors:
- drop_fields:
fields: ["beat.name","beat.hostname"]

processors:
- add_host_metadata:
netinfo.enabled: false

processors:
- add_cloud_metadata: ~


it worked as expected as i had the metricsets process and process_summary enabled. since i removed them it seems still to harvest those metrics. i restarted, stopped/started metricbeat again but it still has no effect.
Thanks for ideas as i cannot see any reason why this should happen this way :/

  • Which version of metricbeats are you running ? Do you have any other config files in modules.d directory ? Can you post your full metricbeat.yml ?

  • I edited the config. im running metricbeat v 6.4.2 on aws ec2. the only processor which takes effect is the cloud_meta_data. the other ones are ignored as well

  • Does your logs show anything helpful ?

  • Unfortunately they look as intended. I fixed the processors issue, i thought i could specify multiple processors keys but it only works if i stack them under one key... i guess the process issue rises from one of the modules as they might store infos under that key otherwise i cannot explain this behaviour
