Cherry-pick of PR #23831 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
This PR adds
system.hostfs
configuration option for system module.It will be used instead of the flag
-system.hostfs=/hostfs
where adding a flag is not possible ie in Agent. Using the-system.hostfs
will still be available until we completely remove it in 8.0Why is it important?
In some cases setting the
proc
filesystem using the-system.hostfs
is not possible like when running with Agent, see #22915. A configuration option should be used instead.How to test this PR manually
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build
vim system.yml
:docker build -f Dockefile.debug . -t metricbeat-hostfs
process
metricset collects data:-system.hostfs=/hostfs45
