Hi,
struggling a bit with filebeat, i think the current rc script lacks
-path.home ${PREFIX}/share/filebeat as it seems that's where it looks
for modules.
if i dont specify it, with the default config and the default daemon
args:
[11:41] c64:~/mystuff/sysutils/beats/ $doas filebeat -path.config /etc/filebeat
-e
...
2019-11-10T11:41:59.383+0100 ERROR fileset/modules.go:125 Not loading
modules. Module directory not found: /home/landry/mystuff/sysutils/beats/module
if i specify it, seems much better.
[11:42] c64:~/mystuff/sysutils/beats/ $doas filebeat -path.config /etc/filebeat
-path.home /usr/local/share/filebeat -e
2019-11-10T11:42:33.196+0100 INFO instance/beat.go:607 Home path:
[/usr/local/share/filebeat] Config path: [/etc/filebeat] Data path:
[/usr/local/share/filebeat/data] Logs path: [/usr/local/share/filebeat/logs]
so i wonder if daemon_flags should be amended in
sysutils/beats/filebeat/pkg/filebeat.rc ?
according to
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/master/configuration-path.html
maybe logs & data paths should be specified so that this thing works 'better'
out of the box ? or i'm missing something ? does this have smth to do with the
BEATS_MODULES var, which is true only for filebeat and not the other beats ?
