Lets start the Filebeat service and enable to start on system boot. Once the Logstash collects the data from filebeat, It will be then sent to Elasticsearch. In this example, I am sending Nginx access logs from Filebeat to Logstash. Then go to /etc/filebeat folder and open the filebeat.yml file ,remove the exising configuration and paste the below configuration. you can change your current Filebeat version to an OSS version: (filebeat-oss download page), or either. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install filebeat -yĬopy the logstash certificate to /etc/filebeat folder. Your Filebeat is non-OSS and your Elasticsearch is OSS. Update the repository and let’s install the filebeat package from the repo. wget -qO - | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt//elastic-6.x.list Next, We will add the elasticsearch repo and install the filebeat package. Using the scp command, We will copy the certificate from the ELK stack server. The Logstash certificate will be stored under /etc/logstash/ssl folder. Install & Configure Filebeatīefore installing filebeat in the server, We need to copy the logstash certificate which we have generated during the Logstash setup. It will be installed as an agent on your servers where our application or web servers are running.įilebeat monitors the log files or locations that you specify, collects log events, and forwards them either to Elasticsearch or Logstash for indexing. What Is Filebeat?įilebeat is a lightweight shipper for forwarding and centralizing log data. In this guide, I will show to how to setup Filebeat, Where our applications or web servers are running and then we will configure filebeat to send data to Logstash which will then transfer the logs to Elasticsearch. In my previous article, I have explained How to setup ELK stack on Ubuntu.
