Telemetry streaming directly to elastic

Hey all! I´ve been reading up on telemetry streaming, but seems as I´m missing something. Most guides use logstash, but i want to send telemetry directly to elastic.  Can anyone help out with that ...

Hi, 

I am wondering if you made any progress with the F5 Telemetry streaming to Elasticsearch. I have enabled Telemetry Streaming on a F5 loadbalancer directly sending my Elasticsearch, but I can't get it work. 

Maybe you are able to share your experience and help me? Would really appreciate it since I feel very lost regarding this issue.

Hi, 

 

No we put it on ice and are now working on a prometheus solution instead. Have you check out the application study tool on github? If not, take a look at it. I´ve set it up in my local lab, you get very good info there and a feel for what you can do with prometheus. It´s a pull setup so, the tool logs in with a (in my case) auditor account and collects the info needed and presents it in a very good way. Maybe it´s doable for elastic in some similiar way but I dont know.
