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: [{{ metricbeat_tags | join(', ') }}]



fields:

  env: {{ metricbeat_env }}



output.elasticsearch:

  hosts: {{ metricbeat_output_es_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

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
