Collecting Windows metrics in Elasticsearch with Metricbeat and visualizing with Grafana

In this post, we'll look at another of Elasticsearch's wonderful components, within the Beats packages we will also find a utility that will help us to process and collect metrics from our Windows or Linux computers, known as Metricbeat. We will see how to export these metrics to Logstash to process them and store them in Elasticsearch to later visualize them with Kibana or Grafana!

Monitoring with Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Grafana, Beats…

Well, We are going to make a series of documents where I am going to show you the necessary steps to have a fully skilled and functional real-time monitoring solution. We will base ourselves on the multiple options that the mythical Elastic Stack will give us, made up of Elasticsearch-type tools, Logshtash, Kibana and of course Beats packs. There will be a few posts, I hope you enjoy them, Let's freak out 😉
