Summary

In this chapter, we have covered in detail another Beat library called Metricbeat. We covered how to install and configure Metricbeat so that it can send operational metrics to Elasticsearch. We also covered the various deployment architectures for building real-time monitoring solutions using Elastic Stack, in order to monitor servers and applications. This helps IT administrators and application support folks gain insight into the behavior of the applications and servers and allows them to respond in a timely manner in case of infrastructure outage.
