Hello,

I wonder how people deploy the beats configuration files to all their servers? Right now, I have a configuration file with all module enabled. It use puppet to send the files to all my nodes. It cause a lot of error for metricbeat because some of the module don't exist.

Thank you,

Hi @marcandre,

It depends on how you are using puppet, but in general you can deploy different files to different roles. For example you can deploy the general settings (`metricbeat.yml`) to all nodes, but only the mysql module configuration (`conf.d/mysql.yml`) on mysql nodes.
