Elasticsearch node_stats metricset
Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

The node_stats metricset interrogates the Cluster API endpoint of Elasticsearch to get the cluster nodes statistics. The data received is only for the local node so this Metricbeat has to be run on each Elasticsearch node.
The indices stats are node-specific. That means for example the total number of docs reported by all nodes together is not the total number of documents in all indices as there can also be replicas.
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.
For a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.
