Hello - I have configured metric beat to read container info from Docker containers. I want to now capture mesos cluster runtime metrics into metric beat. Is there a way to do this? I used the docker.sock file for metrics. ---

Can you tell me more about Mesos? How does Mesos expose this information? Is there an HTTP endpoint for the node that exposes this data? Probably we could add a mesos module to capture this data. What types metrics would it collect? Have examples? ---

It's great that the API is documented so well. It would probably be pretty easy to implement a new module to monitor those metrics. Please open a new issue in the Github repo to track this enhancement request. If you are interesting in contributing we have a [dev guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-developer-guide.html) for Metricbeat. You could use the `golang/expvar` [metricset](https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/metricbeat/module/golang/expvar/expvar.go) as an example because it does nearly the same thing -- fetch JSON from a REST endpoint. ---

+1 on a mesos metricbeat module. In case you don't have time for a PR yourself, perhaps you can open an enhancement request on github with all the data / links above. ---

Is it possible to extract that info via Zookeeper? I see a module of Zookeeper in Metricbeat and Zookeeper takes care of scheduling container within Mesos/Marathon. ---

The zookeeper modules it to monitor zookeeper itself, not to retrieve data. But we have a similar case for the Kafka module where some data must be (indirectly) fetched from Zookeeper. I'm ok if a kubernetes module would connect to zookeeper to get the meta data in case zookeeper is always around inside kubernetes. ---

@ab-agni, Have you created an issue to track this ? I'd be willing to help to get this implemented since we need a similar module for tracking our mesos stats. ---

@surajs There is no Github for a metricbeat mesos module yet. Feel free to open one on Github.
