[rs18608]

Hello, cannot get this to build with "go version go1.8.1 darwin/amd64".

make
go build
#>
./main.go:13: cannot use beater.New() (type *beater.Elasticbeat) as type "github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/beat".Creator in argument to "github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/beat".Run
make: *** [build] Error 2

Any ideas?

Thanks, Lynn

Thanks for reporting.
Elasticbeat is not compatible with Go1.8
This will be fixed with next releases.

Hey @radoondas I have been working on updating this repo to libbeat 6.0 wondering if there would be any interest in me making a PR for it?
