I am developing a beat for our cluster platform. I believe I am going to create a metricset and module. However, the documentation does not cover installation on the target system. Can someone please point me to where I can find more information? I also developed my own beat based on metricbeat. I see the installation packages that are generated in the build directory, however when I install it, the module is not installed. Installation of beats based on metric beat is also not covered in the documentation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. ---
