Jenkins monitoring using Elastic stack

Hi all,

I'm trying to monitor Jenkins using Elastic stack but don't know which Beat to choose Filebeat or Metricbeat ?

I'm thinking to use Filebeat and Logstash to collect and filter these log files:

/var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/*/builds/*/log

But I'm not sure it is the right idea or not ?

Also, referring to this post Jenkins Monitoring using ELK

I can monitor Jenkins by creating a new module for it, is there any hint to start with ?

Both would make sense. Filebeat for the logs and metricbeat for host metrics!
