Hello, I was wondering if metricbeat can pull in metrics from logstash instances which are available though the logstash API (e.g. node stats API) ? Or is there another way to get insight on the performance/throughput of logstash instances? Thanks in advance, Jo ---

There is currently no Logstash Module in Metricbeat. But Logstashbeat could be what you are looking for: [https://github.com/consulthys/logstashbeat](https://github.com/consulthys/logstashbeat) ---

Thx for the pointer. I've tried it and was able to get in compiled. But after starting it up it crashed with the error below: ``` ./logstashbeat -c ./logstashbeat.yml -e -d "*" ``` > 2016/12/13 09:02:46.440125 beat.go:267: INFO Home path: [/usr/local/go/src/github.com/consulthys/logstashbeat] Config path: [/usr/local/go/src/github.com/consulthys/logstashbeat] Data path: [/usr/local/go/src/github.com/consulthys/logstashbeat/data] Logs path: [/usr/local/go/src/github.com/consulthys/logstashbeat/logs] > 2016/12/13 09:02:46.440201 beat.go:177: INFO Setup Beat: logstashbeat; Version: 6.0.0-alpha1 > 2016/12/13 09:02:46.440226 processor.go:43: DBG Processors: > 2016/12/13 09:02:46.440237 beat.go:183: DBG Initializing output plugins > 2016/12/13 09:02:46.440247 logp.go:219: INFO Metrics logging every 30s > 2016/12/13 09:02:46.440363 output.go:167: INFO Loading template enabled.

Best is to open a Github issue in logstashbeat so the problem can be fixed. There are no immediate plans to add a Logstash module. It is planned that Logstash can send its own metrics directly to elasticsearch. ---
