Ship Your Own Data: Tailoring Beats to Your Use Case

Beats is a little bit like LEGO: You can use each Beat itself as a building block to cover your needs, but at the same time each Beat consists of different reusable and extendable elements. This makes it possible for developers and operators to combine and extend Beats in different ways.

In this talk, Nicolas and Steffen will introduce developers, operators, and Beats users to the internals of the Elastic Beats. The knowledge gained will help with making informed decisions on how to extend Beats to deal with your particular use case if it’s not fully-covered by the existing Beats features.
