Journalbeat is removed in 7.16
editJournalbeat, a lightweight shipper for collecting logs written by the Journald
system service, is removed in 7.16. This functionality is instead provided as
a Filebeat input. If you’re currently using Journalbeat, you should
use the journald input in Filebeat instead. For more information, refer to
the
Journald input documentation.
If you’re using Elastic Agent instead of Beats, you can collect Journald logs by adding the Custom Journald logs integration to your agent policy. For more information, refer to Add an Elastic Agent integration to a policy.
Custom Beats generator is deprecated in 7.16
editThe generator code for creating custom Beats is deprecated in 7.16.0 and will be removed in 8.0.0. You can continue to build custom Beats using the generators available in 7.16, or refer to existing Beats as working examples.
