I currently have a network and i wish to set up an ELK Stack on it to gather different types of information from clients.
I have successfully installed the ELK Stack and can connect to the kibana dashboard from a client device with no problems.
I am now looking to install Metricbeats to start gather metrics from the client but i am un-sure as to whether I install Metricbeats on the client device or server device running the ELK stack?
From what i've read it seems you install it on the ELK server but i am unsure how doing that would gather information from the client and send it back to kibana?
Both devices are running Ubuntu 18.04.
Thanks, for any help provided.
