There are two common architectures for elastic stack. All the following discussions are based on 6.8.0. Make sure the software versions for all the tools in Elastic stack are the same. On Ubuntu, with previously added PPA, a single line apt install filebeat is enough.

Please refer to the official doc on how to install it.
Installation of filebeat follows the same pattern with the other tools in Elastic stack.
Here we will only focus on filebeat, the most commonly used beat, which parses the log files and ship them to some centralized service (logstash or ES). Beats contain several variants, such as heartbeat metricbeat and filebeat, which are designed for differet types of data. Beat is very lightweighted data collector which is responsible to collect data at the edge and send data to the next stage (either logstash or elasticsearch(ES) in usual setups). Therefore, beat is actually the reason why ELK stacks are also refered as Elastic stack now. Filebeatīeat is the last introduced tool out of the four main ingredients of Elastic stack: elasticsearch, kibana, logstash and beat. The detailed instuctions and what happens behind the scenes are also presented. In this short post, I will discuss about the specific configurations enabling modules in filebeat and with special focus on the possible timestamp mismatch issues in this setup. Timestamps from Filebeat to Elasticsearch Įlastic stack (previously known as ELK stack) is a set of very poweful tools for log collection, searching and analysis.
