Beats is the platform for building lightweight, open source data
shippers for many types of operational data you want to enrich with
Logstash, search and analyze in Elasticsearch, and visualize in Kibana.
Whether you're interested in log files, infrastructure metrics, network
packets, or any other type of data, Beats serves as the foundation for
keeping a beat on your data.
Metricbeat collects metrics from your systems and services. From CPU to
memory, Redis to Nginx, and much more, Metricbeat is a lightweight way to
send system statistics.

Update to 5.2.1
The three elasticsearch beats ports have merged into one single port
systuils/beats that installs all of the above and some more. The reason is to
make the port more maintainable and also that the new heartbeat beat would
conflict with sysutils/heartbeat.
Add heartbeat beat.
