# Metricbeat
|
|
|
|
Metricbeat is a lightweight shipper that you can install on your servers to periodically collect metrics from the
|
|
operating system and from services running on the server. Metricbeat takes the metrics and statistics that it collects
|
|
and ships them to the output that you specify, such as Elasticsearch or Logstash.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
If you want to include the Metricbeat extension, run Docker Compose from the root of the repository with an additional
|
|
command line argument referencing the `metricbeat-compose.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f extensions/metricbeat/metricbeat-compose.yml up
|
|
```
|
