Does anyone have a source for some sample data I could load into a test cluster? Specifically for Metricbeat. For bonus points, any other beats like Filebeat, Journalbeat, or Winlogbeat.

Kibana has some sample data for eCommerce, flights, and web logs, but nothing for system stats like cpu load or ram usage.

I'd like to test a couple tools I found online without exposing them to any of my real data. It might be a little paranoid, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.

If you don't know of a preexisting set of data, would you have any suggestions on how to simulate cpu/network/ram/io/etc usage in a vm? The idea being I'd leave them running a day or two to generate a set of data with varying usage.
