Beats - Lightweight Data Shippers for Elasticsearch and Logstash
Beats is a collection of lightweight data shippers that send operational data from edge machines to Elasticsearch and Logstash, part of the Elastic Stack for logging, metrics, and security analytics.
Project Introduction
Summary
Beats are purpose-built agents that reside on your servers to send specific types of operational data to Elasticsearch or Logstash. They are part of the Elastic Stack and offer a flexible and efficient way to ingest machine data.
Problem Solved
Collecting and centralizing operational data from a multitude of servers, containers, and network devices can be complex and resource-intensive. Beats simplifies this process by providing specialized, lightweight agents for different data types.
Core Features
Diverse Data Collection
Collects various types of operational data, including logs, metrics, network traffic, and more, from diverse sources.
Lightweight Footprint
Designed to be resource-efficient and lightweight, minimizing impact on the systems they monitor.
Tech Stack
使用场景
Beats are used in various scenarios where operational data needs to be collected efficiently and sent to the Elastic Stack for indexing, analysis, and visualization.
Scenario 1: Centralized Log Collection
Details
Deploy Filebeat on servers to collect log files from applications and operating systems, forwarding them to Logstash or Elasticsearch.
User Value
Gain a unified view of logs across the entire infrastructure, enabling faster troubleshooting and compliance.
Scenario 2: Infrastructure Performance Monitoring
Details
Use Metricbeat to gather system-level metrics (CPU, memory, disk) and service-level metrics from databases, web servers, etc., sending them to Elasticsearch.
User Value
Monitor the health and performance of systems and services in real-time, identifying bottlenecks and potential issues proactively.
