Hi, does someone have a current ( 2021 + ) documentation for creating a custom beat? Or an idea how I can deliver custom data to my elastic database? When i try to change a community beat, i cant make (make setup) it. Thanks for all suggestions and greetings from Berlin! ---

Hi Markus, I think the 2021+ recommendation is to focus on Elastic Agent-based environments and build own integration?
