for this command
filebeat -E output.elasticsearch.enabled=false -E output.console.enabled=true | pv -Warl >/dev/null
We are seeing the following out put. The documentation for pv command is quite sparse. If I understand the the documentation the the first values is the rate in lines/second and the second value is average rate in lines/second.
- [0.00 /s] [4.98k/s]
- [10.6 /s] [4.13k/s]
- [9.54 /s] [3.62k/s]
- [0.00 /s] [3.37k/s]
- [23.3 /s] [2.89k/s]
is an average rate 2.89K/s and 4.98k/s a tlow throughput for file beat.
On additional runs I am seeing a much higher average rate. The throughput seems quite variable.
- [18.4k/s] [29.0k/s]
- [0.00 /s] [24.3k/s]
- [0.00 /s] [20.9k/s]
- [0.00 /s] [18.3k/s]
- [0.00 /s] [16.3k/s]
- [1.08k/s] [14.8k/s]
- [0.00 /s] [12.3k/s]
- [7.74 /s] [7.40k/s]
- [19.3 /s] [4.24k/s]
- [8.71 /s] [3.71k/s]
We are not sure if these rates are high or low for filebeat.
