Hello,

I am about to set up log injesting for some java application and I decided that it would be easier if I would create a filebeat module for each of them. Is there an easy way to create a new module on filebeat? I have watched some video but I don't seam to have some scripts that are necesary in my filebeat installation.

Regards,

hi @zozo6015, did you check out the steps here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/devguide/current/filebeat-modules-devguide.html?
What are the scripts you are looking for in the current setup?

Do I need to clone the repository for this?

I was watching this:
https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2018/sf/build-your-own-filebeat-module. where it is stated that we should be able to create our own modules without having to setup a developer environments. There was a folder scripts which was used to create the module. Maybe that is not yet implemented.
