Hey @ruflin,
Like the http_poller mentioned above, are there plugins to query remote hosts using SSH or SNMP? I checked the Logstash Input Plugins page but couldn't find any. If you do find it, please let me know. If it doesn't exist currently, I can then take this up with the Logstash folks and raise a feature request.
My intention to do this using Metricbeat was to keep the ship, parse and store model consistent with the BELK stack. But, it doesn't matter which software we use as long as the data gets collected.
Thanks for your input!
Regards,
Rahul Swaminathan
