I am replacing Elasticsearch with Opensearch and trying to figure out the best agent going forward. I have experience with beats but don’t want to use these is they are not getting updated. Is it worth making the switch to fluentbit? Or is there a better alternative?
i @GRobertson ,
What is the source for ingesting your data?
As an alternative, there is also Logstash. You can find more information about this tool here:
My source is predominantly windows and linux metrics, however i do wish to bring back sql source data and also barracuda firewall data…which i get in later beats via the cef module.
Which versions of OpenSearch and Beats do you use?
Opensearch 2.14 and beats OSS 7.12.1
Hi @GRobertson ,
According to the following documentation, OpenSearch 2.x is compatible with Beats OSS 7.12.x*. Also, you can read more about supported tools on the following page:
FluentBit is recommended to use, it’s being updated and supported by the official team, and Data prepper is an alternative to Logstash, that tool is maintained by the OpenSearch official team.
