Go Report Card Reviewed by Hound

Beats - The Lightweight Shippers of the Elastic Stack

The Beats are lightweight data shippers, written in Go, that you install on your servers to capture all sorts of operational data (think of logs, metrics, or network packet data). The Beats send the operational data to Elasticsearch, either directly or via Logstash, so it can be visualized with Kibana.

By "lightweight", we mean that Beats have a small installation footprint, use limited system resources, and have no runtime dependencies.

This repository contains libbeat, our Go framework for creating Beats, and all the officially supported Beats:

Beat Description
Auditbeat Collect your Linux audit framework data and monitor the integrity of your files.
Filebeat Tails and ships log files
Heartbeat Ping remote services for availability
Metricbeat Fetches sets of metrics from the operating system and services
Packetbeat Monitors the network and applications by sniffing packets
Winlogbeat Fetches and ships Windows Event logs
Osquerybeat Runs Osquery and manages interraction with it.

In addition to the above Beats, which are officially supported by Elastic, the community has created a set of other Beats that make use of libbeat but live outside of this Github repository. We maintain a list of community Beats here.

Documentation and Getting Started

Building Beats from the Source

See our CONTRIBUTING file for information about setting up your dev environment to build Beats from the source.

Snapshots

For testing purposes, we generate snapshot builds that you can find here. Please be aware that these are built on top of main and are not meant for production.

CI

PR Comments

It is possible to trigger some jobs by putting a comment on a GitHub PR. (This service is only available for users affiliated with Elastic and not for open-source contributors.)

  • beats CI pipeline
    • /test will kick off a default build.
  • docs CI pipeline
    • run docs-build will kick off a docs build.
