What about the echo part for the sources, what did you do there?
Sorry, Mark. I'm not following you. Can you be more specific or list commands you'd like executed?
It would seem the S3 objects for packages.elastic.co/beats/apt/ ... are either missing or not accessible to public.

The second step in the docs is echo "deb https://packages.elastic.co/beats/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/beats.list, is that what you did?
I just tried the steps in the instructions then without any issues.
I must have clipped it when shortening the logs. Here's the full output.
`https://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -

What's the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/beats.list.
vagrant@dev:/$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/beats.listhttps://packages.elastic.co/beats/apt " trusty main stablehttps://packages.elastic.co/beats/apt stable main

It should just be deb https://packages.elastic.co/beats/apt stable main, looks like that first line is bad.
That worked! Thanks for your help. Now I need to determine if the TopBeat Chef recipes corrupted this file or something else I did.
Thanks for the quick feedback!

@warkolm Was there a change to the repository? I used the TopBeat chef recipe last week to deploy topbeat and didn't have any issues. This week it fails if 'trusty' is in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/beats.list
Chef output of content diffs.https://packages.elastic.co/beats/apt " trusty stable mainhttps://packages.elastic.co/beats/apt " stable main
Why would it have worked last week but not today?

I was using 1.2.0 version of TopBeats. This week version 1.2.1 is available and APT repo started failing. Something changed on Elastic's end. Is there a specific reason the repo cannot support distribution code names?

We never have supported that because we don't specifically release for distros.
You can see here that the docs for the repo haven't changed anytime recently https://github.com/elastic/beats/commits/1.2/libbeat/docs/repositories.asciidoc

@warkolm Ok. Since beats are not built for any particular distro, I'll submit a pull request for the TopBeat Chef cookbook.
Thanks for your help.

No worries. I have asked the Beats team about this as well, so will see if they come back with anything.
