Hello, my name is Davide.

I’m trying to install the ELK stack on FreeBSD but i have some problems.

In particular my problems it concernes “Beats” and his version on FreeBSD.

I read on the web that the ports’s last version released of “Beats” is
6.8.5 but in this one the module “Zeek” is not supported, so i ask you if
it’s possible to explain me how I can make an upgraded version of the ports
starting from the 6.8.5.

My attempt was a bit forcefull because i download the last version of
“Beats”, i build all files (like filebeat, metricbeat etc with the command
gmake) but after that i dont like too much to move the binary file into the
installation location of (for example) beats-6.8.5.

Could you explain how to create the “ports for beats-6.8.5”, please?

I hope that the problem’s resolution can be helpful to the comunity of
FreeBSD and also help you guys to release a new version of “beats” on
FreeBSD.

Best regards,
Davide Robusto
