Cherry-pick of PR #22550 to 7.x branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
This is a fix for #21297
If a beat name is longer than 15 characters on *nix systems, it won't match the process name found by the libbeat metrics tools, which will cause the beat to bomb out. If the beat name exceeds the name in
/proc/self/comm
, then truncate it.Why is it important?
Custom beats with long names can fail.
