Known issues

edit

Affecting all Beats

  • Memory usage is not correctly limited by the number of events actively in the memory queue, but rather the maximum size of the memory queue regardless of usage. 41355

Metricbeat

  • Metrics can be lost when using Metricbeat due to the total fields limit of the Metricbeat index template. We recommend increasing the index.mapping.total_fields.limit setting of the Metricbeat index template to 12500 and perform a rollover of the Metricbeat data stream. If you’ve customized the name of the index associated to Metricbeat, apply the same change accordingly.
