After learning about the various kinds of beats, their functionality, and the information provided, we will learn about how to get started with Beats in order to use it along with Elastic Stack. We will cover the following use cases, showcasing an end-to-end flow for the following cases:
Using Metricbeat to directly send data to Logstash, which will process and store logs in Elasticsearch so that they can then be visualized in Kibana
Using Elasticbeat to index data in Elasticsearch and visualize it using Kibana
In this section, you will understand how to get started with simple processing and how to connect multiple components with ease. The objective of this section is not to show you the powerful processing capabilities of Logstash, or how Beats will optimize performance across various systems; it is just to show you how we can connect multiple components so that data flows from each component, and we can corelate the input from Beats to visualize the output...
