Description

Beats is introducing a new field for timeseries events. Purpose and meaning is explained here: https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/10293

`timeseries.instance` field will be attached to events carrying time series: . The objective of it is to allow queries to downsample metrics from multiple time series while consuming them.

Note: this will be introduced in an experimental way, so it may be too soon to add it to ECS, but discussion on the name is useful already.
