Send Metricbeat measurements to another server (not Kibana/Logstash)

[Dimitris_S]

Hi there,

I'm using Metricbeat on a Raspi but I would like to forward the measurements not in Kibana but to a different server. Output should be preferably in JSON format or other well-structured formats. Is there a way to forward Metricbeat measurements to other destinations, e.g. via UDP messages or any other way?

Hello,

Metricbeat supports the following output
(https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/configuring-output.html):

• Elasticsearch
• Logstash
• Kafka
• Redis
• File
• Console
• Cloud

Note that you can only use one output.
