Functionbeat has now been fully deprecated but binaries are still shipped as part of the standard release process, those should be removed.

After chatting with @nimarezainia today we are wondering which one of the approach we should pick:

Removing Functionbeat binary and deleting this download page - https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/functionbeat
Keeping Functionbeat binary but highlighting that this is EOL on the download page itself
Switching Functionbeat download page and point to the serverless forwarder download page

@cmacknz @amitkanfer @strawgate any thoughts?

Maybe this, and then add a paragraph on the serverless forwarder page that talk about Functionbeat deprecation and a link to an archive?

What would be the benefit of mentioning Functionbeat in the Serverless forwarder page?

Switching Functionbeat download page and point to the serverless forwarder download page

@nimarezainia do you know who could help us to that? I guess the team in charge of the release pages?

nimarezainia commented 2 months ago

@jlind23 i'll take care of it. I suppose we need to remove the DRA also?

jlind23 commented 2 months ago

I suppose we need to remove the DRA also?

So you mean that we don't want to push binaries anymore?

cmacknz commented 2 months ago

The least disruptive option is to remove the binaries completely in 9.0 and keep them around on 8.x.

If we can I would completely delete the functionbeat source code in the 9.0 branch, with it only existing in 8.x.

Thanks @cmacknz, added the two related actions in the description.

Just to clarify - target removal of the download page at 9.0 as well?

Yes.

After discussing with @AndersonQ, this issue is a Small in terms of work but requires sync with other teams and to have things in motion so could take more than the sprint to have it through the finish line.
