bmcbm/docker-filebeat repository overview

⁠Docker Filebeat image

Filebeat is a lightweight, open source shipper for log file data. As the next-generation Logstash Forwarder, Filebeat tails logs and quickly sends this information to Logstash for further parsing and enrichment or to Elasticsearch for centralized storage and analysis.

⁠Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

• 1.2.3, 1.2, 1, latest (Dockerfile)⁠
• 5.0.0-alpha4, 5.0.0-alpha, 5.0-alpha, 5-alpha (Dockerfile)⁠

⁠Build and update process

This image is automatically built at every push of this repository and every time that the ubuntu:xenial base image gets updated in order to ensure that bugfixes and security updates are immediately applied.

⁠Run

docker run -v /path/to/filebeat.yml:/filebeat.yml bmcbm/docker-filebeat:1

Or, you can create your own derived image, with the configuration in the image itself.

FROM bmcbm/docker-filebeat
COPY my-config/filebeat.yml /filebeat.yml
