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.
Packetbeat is the open source data shipper that integrates with
Elasticsearch and Kibana to provide real-time analytics for web,
database, and other network protocols.

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.
