To compile your beat run mage build
Run this command to enable connection module
./openvpnbeat modules enable connectionTo run openvpnbeat with debugging output enabled, run:
./openvpnbeat -e -d "*"
In case further modules are metricsets should be added, run:
make create-metricset
After updates to the fields or config files, always run
mage update
This updates all fields and docs with the most recent changes.
Beats uses go modules for dependency management.
In order to maintain your vendor folder, run mage copyVendor.
This will create a directory vendor inside your repository. To make sure all dependencies for the Makefile commands are loaded from the vendor directory, find the following line in your Makefile:
ES_BEATS=${GOPATH}/src/github.com/elastic/beats
Replace it with:
ES_BEATS=./vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/v7
We recommend to version your repository with git and make it available on Github so others can also use your project. The initialise the git repository and add the first commits, you can use the following commands:
git init
git add README.md CONTRIBUTING.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git add LICENSE
git commit -m "Add the LICENSE"
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Add git settings"
git add .
git reset -- .travis.yml
git commit -m "Add openvpnbeat"
The beat frameworks provides tools to crosscompile and package your beat for different platforms. This requires docker and vendoring as described above. To build packages of your beat, run the following command:
make release
This will fetch and create all images required for the build process. The hole process to finish can take several minutes.
