Beats for Lightweight Data Shipping
Meet the Beats family of lightweight shippers that send logs, metrics, and other data into Elasticsearch or Logstash with minimal footprint.
The Last Mile of Ingestion
Logstash is powerful but heavy. To collect data right at the source (a server, container, or device) Elastic offers Beats: small, single-purpose agents written in Go that ship data efficiently.
What Beats Are
Each Beat focuses on one job and runs as a tiny resident process with a low memory footprint, making it safe to deploy on thousands of machines simultaneously.
