arm-beats

Automated Elastic filebeat, metricbeat, heartbeat & packagebeat builds for linux/armv7 & linux/armv6 32bits.

Goal

Currently elasticsearch team do not provide any arm32 (armv7 / armv6) builds for filebeat, metricbeat, heartbeat & packagebeat this repository provides those.

latest builds

official builds

Run filebeat on a raspberry pi

wget https://github.com/vrince/arm-beats/releases/download/v8.2.0/filebeat-8.2.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz
tar -xf filebeat-8.2.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz
cd filebeat-8.2.0-linux-armv7l
file ./filebeat

Should return:

./filebeat: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, Go BuildID=q4tFca9OleP0Dj0JFsYO/wQvX_IvIiVb7CA7NFq-6/-Rsiwc2soS0qHYJ-YXvB/uOnOPHVTGBXMRzHgpC_p, BuildID[sha1]=0e3df053441d84a4a3e6aa3de827bd6984c2dd3a, not stripped

tar -xf metricbeat-8.2.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz
cd metricbeat-8.2.0-linux-armv7l
file ./metricbeat

Should return:

Builds

Uses emulated (qemu) multi-arch capability of docker. Performance is really not that great, so those builds only perform go get to build necessary binary file. Finally official elasticsearch official (arm64) corresponding beat package is patch by swapping the main binary.
