I have downloaded the zip package. I use ES in Linux. I have made changes in the elasticbeat.yml file. But there is no application file to start the beat. In the site, they mentioned the following command to start the beat
./elasticbeat -c elasticbeat.yml
But I cant start this because I dont have elasticbeat file. In their site, they says that I need to build this file using Golang. Do I need to need to install Golang in my machine to build and run this beat, or is there any other way.
From what I can see, there is no version of the Elasticbeat released yet, so you would need to compile it yourself from sources.
If you are looking for a solution to monitor your Elasticsearch and Kibana instances, a good option is using x-pack Monitoring for free. Here you can find more details about it.
