Configurationedit

cpu.metrics

This option controls what CPU metrics are reported. The value is a list and three metric types are supported - percentages, normalized_percentages, and ticks. The default value is cpu.metrics: [percentages].

metricbeat.modules:
- module: system
  metricsets: [cpu]
  cpu.metrics: [percentages, normalized_percentages, ticks]

This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.
