Metrics associated with the libbeat queue have previously been attributed to the input component that created the queue. When multiple inputs can share the same libbeat queue, this results in reporting those shared metrics separately for every input, which can lead to overcounting in aggregations and dashboards. Instead, these metrics should be reported under the same component ID as output metrics for the associated exporter component, so each queue's metrics are only reported once.
