Hi,  
I am having the following platform  
OS - centos 7.4  
ES - 6.2  
Logstash - 6.2  
Kibana - 6.2

Currently Iam using Packetbeat,filebeat and metricbeats in my clients. May I know whats the best beat that I can use in case I need to log the logins to my clients and the command execution logs.

Thanks in advance  
Vishnu

Auditbeat is a Beat intended for auditing actions and processes on your systems (as the name suggests). You can check it out here:

- [https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-auditbeat-ship-linux-audit-logs-to-elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-auditbeat-ship-linux-audit-logs-to-elasticsearch)
- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/auditbeat-getting-started.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/auditbeat-getting-started.html)

Also, enabling system module of Filebeat collects the logs including login events. See more here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-system.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-system.html)
