Is it possible to integrate functionbeat with AWS elasticsearch service?

Question

I'm trying to integrate AWS Elasticsearch Service with Functionbeat follow a lot of documents: https://blog.9fin.com/post/never-miss-a-beat-central-lambda-logging/ https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/functionbeat/current/functionbeat-installation-configuration.html

I have a lot of problem like template can not upload to ES because of port, Credentials need for functionbeat can not acchieve in ES because of role and policy,...

So can anybody tell me if anyone has success in this way? Cause after few days, I read that functionbeat can not integrate with AWS ES.

Answer 1

While all other Beats can work with the OSS version of Elasticsearch, Functionbeat is only available with a BASIC license of Elasticsearch and the AWS managed ES service doesn't provide that kind of licensing.

Instead, you should consider migrating to ES Cloud or any other on-premise ES deployment.

Adding to Val's great answer that you can look at https://www.elastic.co/cloud and https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK ?

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, Maps UI, Alerting and built-in solutions named Observability, Security, Enterprise Search and what is coming next :) ...
