Meta ticket for several improvements we plan for Metricbeat in order to reduce the storage space requirements in its default configuration. * [x] #4127 Add a feature to allow collecting only the first top N processes by CPU and/or memory, instead of all of them. * [x] #4231 Add new metrics for the total process counts and use those in dashboards * [x] #4284 Make it possible to set "shards" and "replicas" from the metricbeat YAML file. * [x] #4329 Set the default number of shards to 1. * [x] #4317 Make it easily possible to disable `_source`, but leave it on by default. * [x] #4329 Enable best compression by default. * [x] #4329 Reduce the collection interval for filesystem statistics and disable `fsstat` by default. Set it to 1m. * [x] #4329 Filter out several filesystem types by mount point (e.g. proc, tmpfs, dev) * [ ] Filter out logical devices from the `diskio` stats We target these changes for the 6.0 release.
