I am trying to monitory my freebsd server, Is there any freebsd compatible version for topbeat ?, I could get freebsd compatible binary for filebeat here [https://beats-nightlies.s3.amazonaws.com/jenkins/topbeat/313-d5c7fa2cfc668dcfbfe29e7a83edf1f84a352071/topbeat-linux-amd64](https://beats-nightlies.s3.amazonaws.com/jenkins/topbeat/313-d5c7fa2cfc668dcfbfe29e7a83edf1f84a352071/topbeat-linux-amd64) But not for topbeat. ---

No, the low-level code to pull the data from the OS isn't implemented for FreeBSD. [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/974](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/974) ---

Can we expect this at all, in the future. Or if Metricbeat is going to replace this topbeat. I want to know, will ever Metricbeat will be implemented as binary to work with freebsd 8.2. As all my production cloud is using freebsd 8.2 and i want to install metricbeat to monitor those, I want to know, whether i can wait on Metricbeat or not. ---

The Topbeat features are included in Metricbeat. Topbeat will not be released in 5.x. Metricbeat [should be working](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/974#issuecomment-229604457) on FreeBSD now thanks to a [contribution](https://github.com/elastic/gosigar/pull/33) from Cockroach Labs. Elastic doesn't provide binaries for FreeBSD so you'll need to [build your own binary](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-your-dev-environment). ---

So you are saying now, metricbeat is available for freebsd. Thats great!. But will it work with freebsd 8.2 or only on freebsd 10. And i couldnt find metricbeat in [https://beats-nightlies.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=metricbeat/](https://beats-nightlies.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?prefix=metricbeat/) for freebsd. Can you give me some link, from where i can get metricbeat for freebsd? ---

Build it and give it a try. Make sure you [mount the procfs compatibility layer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/_how_do_i_fix_the_literal_open_compat_linux_proc_no_such_file_or_directory_literal_error_on_freebsd.html). ---
