Beats is a platform of lightweight, single-use data shippers written in Go. It captures all sorts of operational data from hundreds or thousands of machines and systems and sends them to Logstash or Elasticsearch.

Beats is lightweight in that it has a small installation footprint, uses limited system resources and has no runtime dependencies. It consists of: Auditbeat (for audit data), Filebeat (for log files), Functionbeat (serverless shipper), Heartbeat (for uptime monitoring), Metricbeat (for metrics), Packetbeat (for monitoring network data), and Winlogbeat (for Windows Event logs), with many other Beats created by the community.

Features

  • Modules for easy collecting, parsing, and visualizing information from key data sources
