ELK 7.11.1 SUITE for Raspberry pi 4 (4GB arm64) with beats (auditbeat, filebeat, heartbeat, metricbeat and packetbeat)

Results of Metricbeat RPi4 4GB (ELK suite + beats)

OS Requirements

• RPI 4 4GB (8GB recommended)
• Raspbian or Ubuntu arm64 OS based (aarch64)
• 64GB of Storage (boot from SSD recommended)
• Clone FORK easyBEATS from vitorinux to compile BEATS (only for arm64 OS)
  • https://github.com/vitorinux/easyBEATS.git
• 2 cups of coffee

Install preconfigured Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash (not required but let's try)

Go to web link and download the following arm64 DEB files (select 7.11.1 release from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/)

• elasticsearch-7.11.1-arm64.deb
• kibana-7.11.1-arm64.deb
• logstash-7.11.1-arm64.deb

ELK RAM Requirements (configure jvm.options file)

• Elasticsearch (-Xms1g and -Xmx1g)
• Logstash 600mb (-Xms600m and -Xmx600m)
• Kibana (default)

In order to boot rpi and not take long time, there are SYSTEMD unit files to delay boot of kibana and logstash

Modify Kibana.service to start after elasticseearch.service

kibana.service

[Unit]
Description=Kibana
Documentation=https://www.elastic.co
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target elasticsearch.service
...
... lines removed ...
...

Create a file .timer on the path of your .service file (wait 300s before start the process)

kibana.timer

[Unit]
Description=Start KIBANA after 300s

[Timer]
OnBootSec=300s

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

Do the same for Logstash

logstash.service

[Unit]
Description=logstash
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target elasticsearch.service
...
... lines removed ...
...

logstash.timer

[Unit]
Description=Start LOGSTASH after 300s

[Timer]
OnBootSec=300s

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

Install BEATS arm64 with easyBEATS
