I have a Hearbeat that checks system status around my network (as expected). I also have some shell scripts that check the status of various components around my network. Unfortunately, those components don't fit nicely into the http/tcp/icmp paradigm of Heartbeat (they're system services, so they don't have a network interface). However, I'd like to integrate the output of these scripts into te Heartbeat index so that I can use them alongside the other Heartbeat data.

Is there a way to create a Filebeat configuration such that the output would go into a Heartbeat index?
