About:
Auditbeat is a lightweight data shipper that collects system audit data and sends it to Elasticsearch or Logstash for analysis. It monitors system activity such as file changes, user logins, and process execution to enhance security visibility. It provides a low-overhead solution for real-time security monitoring and compliance auditing.
|
Key Features:
- Real-time system activity monitoring
- File integrity monitoring capabilities
- Low resource overhead
- Seamless integration with Elastic Stack
- Pre-built detection rules
|
Use Cases:
- Security incident detection and response
- Compliance auditing and regulatory reporting
- File integrity monitoring for critical system files
- User behavior analytics and threat detection
|
Alternatives:
-
osquery
– osquery provides SQL-based querying of system state, while Auditbeat focuses on continuous data streaming to the Elastic Stack
-
auditd
– auditd is the Linux kernel audit framework; Auditbeat can collect from auditd but provides easier setup and built-in visualization
-
wazuh
– Wazuh is a broader security platform; Auditbeat is lighter and more focused on data collection for the Elastic ecosystem
