i can't install filebeat on Rasppbery(ARM).  
I followed:

- [https://www.elasticice.net/?p=92](https://www.elasticice.net/?p=92)
- [How to install Filebeat on a ARM based SBC (eg. Raspberry Pi 3)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-install-filebeat-on-a-arm-based-sbc-eg-raspberry-pi-3/103670)
- [http://www.programmersought.com/article/31601555670/](http://www.programmersought.com/article/31601555670/)  
as a result i have

root@raspberrypi:~/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat# make  
make: 'filebeat' is up to date.

then

make update  
New python executable in /root/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat/build/python-env/bin/python

done.

Hello,

I've had better luck cross compiling beats for ARM. I tried a native build on my `Raspberry Pi 3 Model B`, and the build was running out of memory.

It may be worth looking through the following issue for some suggestions to build beats for ARM. Please let us know if you have any questions.
