ABOUT
Collecting logs, metrics, and operational data from distributed systems requires lightweight agents that can run on every machine without consuming significant resources. Traditional log aggregation solutions are often heavy, complex to configure, and difficult to scale across heterogeneous infrastructure. Beats provides a family of focused, lightweight data shippers that install quickly, use minimal resources, and reliably forward operational data to Elasticsearch or Logstash, enabling comprehensive observability without operational overhead.
