Best practice guide metricbeat rollup jobs
Found this github issue (https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/9252) that describes the problem. Unfortunate after 4 years this is not resolved. I almost seems that Elastic does not want you to save on disk space.

Supported OS conflict between Wazuh and Filebeat
Yet, this PR in elastic/beats repo adds clone3 syscall to solve the pthread issue and they say it starts with glibc 2.34. Basically, they added clone3 to the allowed syscalls. For those who gets the same error, they can just combine both to be safe, which I did:

Filebeat vs Rsyslog
Question inspired from this issue
- Elasticsearch and kibana not in repo anymore?

Filebeat modules
Over at Elasticsearch you're not seeing all the parsed fields correctly? If so, the answer lies in the Filebeat Config and the Ingest Pipeline. (taking DHCP as an example in the links - there are other modules that may be relevant to you like DNS OSCP etc).

Right way to link containers on host vs custom network.
That's the thing, I do need network_mode: host on telegraf in order to get host network statistics. See here or here

Telegraf Inputs.SMART
After screwing around with it for a while, I was able to get inputs.smart working... but I'm not thrilled with the answer. According to this in order for you to get the SMART data inside a container you need to edit the sudoers file inside the container.

Learnings from integrating JMX based metrics from Java applications into time series databases
I’ve been using the Jolokia agent with telegraf to push JVM metrics into InfluxDB (among other things). I think it can be used with Prometheus too.

Help with reading modbus using telegraf
I have two devices; both are connected to a Raspberry Pi using a USB converter as Slave 1 and 2. I want to get some readings using Telegraf software https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.26/plugins/inputs/modbus (happy to try any other linux software), but I'm having trouble (I'm seriously confused to be honest) with byte_order, data_type, and input register addresses.
