Step 4 - Metricbeat and Logstash.md

Update config

Update the output to use Logstash instead of directly to Elasticsearch. Make sure you include auth details!

Use vim/nano/atom etc.

vim metricbeat-5.3.1-darwin-x86_64/metricbeat.yml

Start

logstash-5.3.1/bin/logstash -e 'input { beats { port => 5044 } } filter {} output { elasticsearch { user => "elastic" password => "changeme" } }'
metricbeat-5.3.1-darwin-x86_64/metricbeat -c metricbeat-5.3.1-darwin-x86_64/metricbeat.yml
