System package dataset

This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This is the package dataset of the system module.

It is implemented for Linux distributions using dpkg or rpm as their package manager, and for Homebrew on macOS (Darwin).

Example dashboard

The dataset comes with a sample dashboard:
