About:
Metricbeat is a lightweight shipper that collects metrics from your operating systems, services, and applications. It ships these metrics to Elasticsearch for indexing and visualization in Kibana. It includes pre-built modules for common services to make setup and configuration fast and easy.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight with low resource overhead
  • Pre-built modules for services like Apache, MySQL, and Docker
  • Auto-detection and discovery of services on the system
  • Secure and reliable data transport to the Elastic Stack
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring server health and performance metrics
  • Collecting application performance data (APM)
  • Gathering container and orchestration metrics from Docker or Kubernetes
Alternatives:
  • Telegraf – Part of the TICK stack; similar functionality but integrates best with InfluxDB.
  • Prometheus Node Exporter – Focuses specifically on hardware and OS metrics; Metricbeat offers broader service coverage.
