metadata in the events is used, and `add_cloudfoundry_metadata` processor
doesn't modify these fields.

For efficient annotation, application metadata retrieved by the Cloud Foundry
client is stored in a persistent cache on the filesystem under the `path.data`
directory. This is done so the metadata can persist across restarts of {beatname_uc}.
For control over this cache, use the `cache_duration` and `cache_retry_delay` settings.
