Hey, all.

I want to get logs and OS performance metrics from VMware hosts into elasticsearch. I have tried the Beats(Metricbeat and Filebeat), but i am getting segmentaion fault error upon starting the beats.  
Has anyone set up logging to capture both ESXi host logs and performance metrics using beats or any-other solution?

Thanks  
Vishnu

I don't have any experience with beats and VMWare. But do you have any logs/traces about the beats crashes? Which host OS are running on?
