Hello Team,

Can anybody suggest me which filebeat docker image can be used with Opensearch and openshearch-dashboard?

As I would like to use Apache 2.0 (Open source) license only.

Kindly suggest which one best works with Opensearch as a log shipper? as I have already running docker container for opensearch, opensearch-dashboard and logstash.

I wanted to send the application logs to the logstash and will be displayed on the dashboard.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks.

Hey @sabil - I moved your topic to the correct category.

As far as a [filebeat docker image listing, you’ll want the one with the -oss suffix](https://www.docker.elastic.co/r/beats/filebeat-oss) and get the [correct version according to this matrix](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/clients/agents-and-ingestion-tools/index/#compatibility-matrix-for-beats).

FWIW, you might want to [consider fluentbit](https://opensearch.org/blog/releases/2022/01/calyptia-partner-blog-announcement/) over Beats. I think (generally) that there is more of a future with FluentBit and it fills roughly the same niche.
