Did you know that Beats 6.1 is already available? Try it and let us know what you think. If you are curious to see the Beats in action, we just published the Getting Started with Beats webinar.

Metricbeat: RAID metricset

Added upon request from our own Cloud team, this new metricset polls /proc/mdstat and records software RAID specific metrics. The metricset is part of the system module and is planned to be released in 6.2.

New community Beat: Tracebeat

Created by @berfinsari, this community Beat sends traceroute pings and indexes the results into Elasticsearch.
