Hi !  
I'm setting up an ELK server in my company to receive connection logs.  
My server is ready and operational. I still have one machine to do, but I confess I'm stuck.

I need to get the logs from the ESXI server, and I've tried to do this by installing filebeat through the ssh, but it's not working, i had few erros :

```auto
 ./filebeat -e 
 "Operation not permitted"

```

so i tried :

```auto
 esxcli system settings advanced set -o /User/execInstalledOnly -i 0
 ./filebeat -e 

```

but i get :

```auto
 killed

```

So I'm looking at going through the ESXI server's Syslog.  
But I'd like to know if it's possible to set up a filebeat on ESXI and if so, how do I go about it?  
thanks
