Brewing in Beats: Monitoring Kubernetes StatefulSet

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: Kubernetes StatefulSet metricset

StatefulSet is the Kubernetes workload API object used to manage stateful applications. Thanks to a community contribution by @fassisrosa, the Metricbeat Kubernetes module now has a metricset that captures metrics about each StatefulSet. This new metricset is scheduled to be released with Beats 6.3.

Auditbeat: Sample configuration files for 32-bit systems

Thanks to a community contribution by @ripcurld0, Auditbeat now has customized configurations for the 32-bit systems. Prior to this, the samples rules were the same on x86 and x86_64. The tar.gz, deb, and rpm packages now automatically include the right configuration sample depending on the target architecture. This improvement will be available in Beats 6.3.

Metricbeat: Fix filesystem used percentage

The used percentage reported by Metricbeat does not match what is reported by df. Metricbeat's computation of the system.filesystem.used.pct value was based on the total number of bytes, but df uses the total number of bytes available to the unprivileged user. This is getting fixed via this PR. The fix will be in 6.3.
