I am experimenting with Metricbeat using Docker-Compose but I am only interested in get metric via Jolokia at the start.
At the moment is starting with all the modules enabled by default and this generates a huge schema in Elastic with more than 2000 fields up front.
Is there a why to enable just specific modules to start with when using the Docker image installation.
Thank you, kindly Luis Oscar Trigueiros
That's not really possible right now; it enables the dynamic enabling and disabling of modules without having to alter any mappings. Since index templates are only applied at index creation it would otherwise be much trickier to add the right fields with explicit statements later on.
But is this an issue in the first place? Or what would you be trying to fix?
