Enable cgroup metric collection by default #3519
Conversation
On Linux cgroup metric collection will be enabled by default. The feature is no longer labeled as experimental. The configuration option has been renamed from `cgroups` to `process.cgroups.enabled`.

Should we add it to the short config as well as it is now a "default" feature?

I'd rather leave it out of the short config. I'd actually be in favor of removing more stuff from the short config. I feel like there's a lot of "noise" in the files and we could have short comment at the top about "see xbeat.full.yml for a commented example with all options" and then remove everything that not necessary. I like the readability of something like this.

@andrewkroh Sounds like something we should discuss in general as it would also apply to all other beats. I kind of like the docs as it helps new users (I hope) but it is much more noisy, agree.
