5 Filebeat Pitfalls To Be Aware Of
Filebeat is an extremely reliable log shipper, but there are some downfalls. Read on to get insights...
Instead of waiting for the customer complaint, get alerted on errors and bugs taking place in real time in your environment. Use alerts to get notified on malicious activity or anomalous behavior or to get alerted on abnormal resource utilization.
Too many alerts defeats the purpose. Pinpoint the event you want to be notified about using Kibana querying. Customize the format of the alert to ensure your alerts displays the data that matters. Use grouping and aggregation options to group results by specific fields so the resulting alert is as concise and accurate as possible.
Decide who to notify. Send the alert out as an email or use pre-configured integrations with popular messaging and incident management platforms, such as Slack, PagerDuty, and more. Or, define your own endpoint using webhook URLs.
