Hi team,

In an environment of monitoring 100 server using packetbeat, How do i know that all 100 beats are running fine and i data is streaming ?

Is there any configuration to be done at beats side ?

Thanks
Ramya

@warkolm ,Thank you.
Yeah,I have gone through this but , in production we are not using X-pack.
If we don't use x-pack what are the ways to monitor Beats ?

You should! It's free and works really well :slight_smile:

If you aren't using that, then you maybe you can use metricbeat to monitor the packetbeat service.

Thanks for your suggestions :slight_smile:
Could you please elaborate how Metricbeat can monitor packetbeat.and if we use metricbeat/packetbeat/filebeat/heartbeat what are the ways of monitoring them.
