README

        
Modbeat is an example Community beat. It collects the file information for given globs on a predefined period and sends the follwoing info about each file to Elasticsearch or Logstash:

* name: File name

* path: Absolute file path including file name

* mode:

* modtime: Last modification time

* size: Size of the file

An example JSON document stored in elasticsearch looks as following:

```

{

   "@timestamp":"2016-01-19T23:48:20.423Z",

   "beat":{

      "hostname":"examplehost",

      "name":"ruflin"

   },

   "count":1,

   "mode":420,

   "modtime":"2016-01-16T00:10:33+01:00",

   "name":"example.log",

   "path":"/var/log/example.log",

   "size":3752,

   "type":"modbeat"

}

```

# Goal

Modbeat has the following goals:

* Basic beat example

* Foundation for maintaining and updating beat

* Structure to create and maintain community around the beat

* Ensure quality of the beat (testing, structure)

* Foundation for good beat docs

# TODO

* Which LICENSE do we recommend? Apache / MIT?

* Make system-tests should not run tests for vendor packages

* Fix System tests

* Complete CONTRIBUTING.md

* Document config

# Notes

* Copy files (already with vendor inside?)

* Basic doc file?

* Glide init, glide update

* Go vendor magic needed to not gofmt all libs: https://gist.github.com/bgentry/fd1ffef7dbde01857f66

* Move modbeat.yml in top directory -> direct start of binary is possible

* Tag libbeat to specific version tag?
