Support cartesian_centroid aggregation over points and shapes

edit

Similar to the existing geo_centroid aggregation, this new metric aggregation, cartesian_centroid, calculates the centroid over cartesian point and shape fields.

#89216

Stack Monitoring: Logstash load average type fixed for metricbeat collection

edit

Previously, the templates for ingesting logstash load average using metricbeat were set to long. This provides only an integer graph.

The type has been corrected to half_float. You can force a rollover to see the change immediately or wait for the next ILM rollover.
