Description
## Text Improvements
The following user-facing text issues were found in source field descriptions. Each is a low-effort fix and should also correct downstream generated exported-fields docs.
### 1. Misspelling: `sucess` -> `success`
**File:** `x-pack/filebeat/processors/decode_cef/_meta/fields.yml` (line 743)
**Current text:** `description: Outcome of the event (e.g. sucess, failure, or attempt).`
**Suggested fix:** `description: Outcome of the event (e.g. success, failure, or attempt).`
**Why:** Clear typo in user-facing field description.
### 2. Grammar error: `If the SELECT query if successful`
**File:** `packetbeat/protos/pgsql/_meta/fields.yml` (lines 25 and 30)
**Current text:** `If the SELECT query if successful, this field is set to the number`
**Suggested fix:** `If the SELECT query is successful, this field is set to the number`
**Why:** Clear duplicated/incorrect wording in user-facing field descriptions.
### 3. Misspelling: `Numer` -> `Number`
**File:** `metricbeat/module/memcached/stats/_meta/fields.yml` (line 31)
**Current text:** `Numer of successful connect attempts to this server since it has been started.`
**Suggested fix:** `Number of successful connect attempts to this server since it has been started.`
**Why:** Clear typo in user-facing field description.
## Suggested Actions
- [ ] Update `x-pack/filebeat/processors/decode_cef/_meta/fields.yml` line 743 (`sucess` -> `success`).
- [ ] Update both affected lines in `packetbeat/protos/pgsql/_meta/fields.yml` (`query if successful` -> `query is successful`).
- [ ] Update `metricbeat/module/memcached/stats/_meta/fields.yml` line 31 (`Numer` -> `Number`).
- [ ] Regenerate any exported/reference docs that derive from these `_meta/fields.yml` sources so generated text stays consistent.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the three named source files: x-pack/filebeat/processors/decode_cef/_meta/fields.yml, packetbeat/protos/pgsql/_meta/fields.yml, and metricbeat/module/memcached/stats/_meta/fields.yml. Correct the specified typos and grammar in the field descriptions, then regenerate any exported or reference documentation derived from these files and verify the corrected text is consistent.
