Brewing in Beats: Monitor RAID status with Metricbeat
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.
