Beat for oracle database

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I don't want to span the issue "1935" on github (Metricbeat: Oracle Module · Issue #1935 · elastic/beats · GitHub) therefor I opened this topic.

@andrewkroh and @ruflin recommended me to write a module for metricbeat.

In the developer guide I read:

As a developer, you can use Metricbeat in two different ways:

  • Extend Metricbeat directly
  • Create your own Beat and use Metricbeat as a library

I tried to "Extend Metricbeat directly" but I have no clue how to test or execute my code since there is no main function anywhere (see https://github.com/odbaeu/oracledb_mb_mod).

Should I better start with "Create your own Beat and use Metricbeat as a library"?

Thanks a lot!

Here's the guide: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/creating-beat-from-metricbeat.html

You already have the module, so you just need to change up the directory structure and generate the main.

Thank you @andrewkroh I finally understood what you were talking about :slight_smile:
