Hi @gsmith, the documentation is pretty lightweight and doesn’t cover my question. There is a switch to start sidecar with a configuration file but nothing documented to start a beats instance via sidecar with a configuration switch.
The beats documentation says you can’t run beats as a service with a configuration switch however that is what sidecar seems to do. So I just want to know how to manually do this from command line and not have to do it with the web interface, as that isn’t scalable.
I’m assuming its a sidecar command rather than a beats command due to the above.
