I'm trying to use metricbeat with beat-exporter (exposing metrics from metricbeat to prometheus) - and as such, I just want http.enabled set - and don't want any output.
If I don't configure any output - metricbeat won't even start?
Hi!
The http setting setting your are trying will only expose internal metrics of Metricbeat: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/7.9/http-endpoint.html
Metricbeat will need an output to send metrics it is collecting (from other services).
