Hello Team,

Can someone refer me to any convincing empirical benchmarking reports/papers on Beats system utilization levels for Linux and/or Windows OS platforms ? ( Winlogbeat, Metricbeat, Filebeat )

We are forming a case to our client that has licensed Platinum to deploy Beats FileBeat and Metric beat and along with our own benchmarking we want to leverage any collateral already available.

Thanks

I am not aware of any such data being available. Beats are designed to have a low footprint, but exactly how much CPU and memory they use will depend a lot on how they are configured and how much data they are collecting and/or processing.
