The CockroachDB `status` metricset collects metrics exposed by the
https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v2.1/monitoring-and-alerting.html#prometheus-endpoint[Prometheus endpoint]
of CockroachDB.

WARNING: This metricset collects a large number of metrics, what can
significantly impact disk usage. Processors can be used to drop unused metrics
before they are stored. For example the following configuration will drop all
histogram buckets:

[source,yaml]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- module: cockroachdb
  metricsets: ['status']
  hosts: ['${data.host}:8080']
  processors:
    - drop_event.when.has_fields: ['prometheus.labels.le']
