Hi all, I would like to use ELK to collect and analyse linux system metrics like cpu, memory, io, ... usage, e. g. with vmstat, iostat, netstat, ... Can anyone give me hint, how/where to start or are there some logstash filters already?

Try using collectd with the UDP input plugin in Logstash with the collectd codec. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
