beat

Beat Input Plugin

The Beat plugin will collect metrics from the given Beat instances. It is known to work with Filebeat and Kafkabeat.

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read metrics exposed by Beat
[[inputs.beat]]
  ## An URL from which to read Beat-formatted JSON
  ## Default is "http://127.0.0.1:5066".
  url = "http://127.0.0.1:5066"

  ## Enable collection of the listed stats
  ## An empty list means collect all. Available options are currently
  ## "beat", "libbeat", "system" and "filebeat".
  # include = ["beat", "libbeat", "filebeat"]

  ## HTTP method
  # method = "GET"

  ## Optional HTTP headers
  # headers = {"X-Special-Header" = "Special-Value"}

  ## Override HTTP "Host" header
  # host_header = "logstash.example.com"

  ## Timeout for HTTP requests
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional HTTP Basic Auth credentials
  # username = "username"
  # password = "pa$$word"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
