# Welcome to Functionbeat 8.3.1

Functionbeat is a beat implementation for a serverless architecture.

## Getting Started

To get started with Functionbeat, you need to set up Elasticsearch on
your localhost first. After that, start Functionbeat with:

     ./functionbeat -c functionbeat.yml -e

This will start Functionbeat and send the data to your Elasticsearch
instance. To load the dashboards for Functionbeat into Kibana, run:

    ./functionbeat setup -e
