Log by default to journald on systems with systemd (elastic#8942)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add `-e` flag to command line when running beats from systemd so beats
logs are collected by journald by default in systems with systemd.

Add also some environment variables so command line flags can be
more easily overriden with a drop-in unit or with `systemctl edit`.

Add documentation about the use of Beats with systemd.
