Hi, Can someone help me by telling me how several clients connect to metricbeat on machines with different ip?

Hi @cristianaxion 🙂

Can you rephrase your question? I'm not sure if I understand correctly. When you setup a module, you can configure an array of IP's to fetch metrics from if that's your question.

Best Regards!

Sure.Do I want to monitor the parameters of a client from kibana with metricbeat? How could it be done because I can't find anything in the configuration files on how to connect with a client?

Thankss
