About:
Filebeat is a lightweight shipper for forwarding and centralizing log data.

As part of the Elastic Stack, it provides a reliable and efficient way to handle log ingestion with minimal resource overhead.

  • Lightweight and resource-efficient
  • Secure log transmission with TLS/SSL
  • Backpressure handling to protect systems
  • Extensive module support for common services
Use Cases:
  • Centralized logging for servers and applications
  • Real-time log analysis and monitoring
  • Security information and event management (SIEM) data collection
Alternatives:
