 This receiver queries the Elasticsearch [node stats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-nodes-stats.html), [cluster health](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-health.html) and [index stats](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-stats.html) endpoints in order to scrape metrics from a running elasticsearch cluster.

 ## Configuration
 
 The following settings are optional:
+
 - `metrics` (default: see `DefaultMetricsSettings` [here](./internal/metadata/generated_metrics.go): Allows enabling and disabling specific metrics from being collected in this receiver.
 - `nodes` (default: `["_all"]`): Allows specifying node filters that define which nodes are scraped for node-level and cluster-level metrics. See [the Elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/cluster.html#cluster-nodes) for allowed filters. If this option is left explicitly empty, then no node-level metrics will be scraped and cluster-level metrics will scrape only metrics related to cluster's health.
 - `skip_cluster_metrics` (default: `false`): If true, cluster-level metrics will not be scraped.
