First up is reviewing the application install locations. No handy script was found to do this, so the next steps were done manually. Now that the application is built, it needs to be installed for use. It can now be run using the -e (send output to the console) & -v (log info level data) command line flags to confirm it works $. When completing the above steps on a Raspberry Pi 3 this was not required.Īssuming it all goes well you should now have a new executable named filebeat. Some of the guides mentioned the need to increase the default amount of swap file available. Compiling things with go is supposed to take a large amount of memory.
When running filbeat for the first time (below) ensure the built version is what was expected. The appropriate hashcode for the target release can be found at the elastic/beats release site. Each version of the beats plugin is designed to work with the same version of Logstash and Elasticsearch. The git checkout command is important.Two items to bear in mind as part of building filebeat: The index pattern was created under /home/user/go/src//elastic/beats/filebeat/_meta/kibana/default/index-pattern/filebeat.json The index pattern was created under /home/user/go/src//elastic/beats/filebeat/_meta/kibana/5.x/index-pattern/filebeat.json Make : Leaving directory ‘/home/user/go/src//elastic/beats/libbeat’ Make : Entering directory ‘/home/user/go/src//elastic/beats/libbeat’ Please specify options before other arguments.

Git and python-pip can be installed using the regular package $ git clone $ cd $ git checkout $ cd $ make Main additional packages required are git, python-pip and virtualenv. If any of the above assumptions don’t apply, what’s listed below will need to be customised accordingly.
