[Metricbeat] beat module - add metricset for input metrics #33953

@andrewkroh

Description

@andrewkroh

Describe the enhancement:

Add a new input metricset to the Beat module to collect metrics from various inputs with Beats (e.g. aws-s3, winlog, udp). Several of the inputs already export per instance metrics and we are exposing those metrics under /inputs/ on the Beat http monitoring endpoint.

Describe a specific use case for the enhancement or feature:

Once we can collect these metrics we can build dashboards to help understand and diagnose issues with input behavior or configuration. For example this metricset could be enabled as part of Agent monitoring to collect input metrics from Filebeat. Then dashboards could be created in the elastic_agent Fleet integration package for each input type to make sense of the data.
