Summary

The article introduces a new feature in Filebeat, which allows users to read Redis slow logs by adding a specialized prospector type that connects to Redis and retrieves slow logs, inspired by the community Beat, Rsbeat. This feature, which is experimental and set to be included in version 6.0.0, enables Filebeat to generate an event for each Redis slow log entry, capturing details like command, duration, and arguments, and clearing the buffer for subsequent polls. The update is part of the "Brewing in Beats" series, which provides weekly insights into Beats' latest developments, including changes to Filebeat, Metricbeat, Packetbeat, and infrastructure and documentation adjustments.
