ARM support in documentation

[smith]

In the Metricbeat installation instructions and Filebeat installation instructions as well as the installation instructions for Kibana packages, all instructions point to the x86 versions. ARM versions are available on the downloads page but this is not indicated in these instructions.

If have an ARM CPU and look at these instructions I wouldn't get the impression that ARM versions are available. The system integration installation instructions show the x86 links but do have a note at least mentioning ARM:

If I'm on MacOS and download the x86 version when I'm using ARM, it should work thanks to the Rosetta translation layer, but I'm not sure if this is the case on Linux and Windows.

Hi!
We just realized that we haven't looked into this issue in a while. We're sorry!

We're labeling this issue as Stale to make it hit our filters and make sure we get back to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, it'd be extremely helpful if you could take a look at it as well and confirm its relevance. A simple comment with a nice emoji will be enough :+1.
Thank you for your contribution!

Thanks @smith for bringing this issue (a long time ago now).

@jlind23 / @kpollich could you please have a look for the Fleet part?
@kilfoyle could you please have a look for the doc part?

[kilfoyle]

I'll look after the docs part in the next sprint.

[jlind23]

@pierrehilbert the fleet message is included here what should be the new copy?

[pierrehilbert]

Probably just specify that the example is with AMD but that we have ARM binaries too.
Guidance below is for AMD but you should adapt this to your device architecture

How about This guidance is for AMD but you can adapt it to your device architecture.
(Accessibility guidelines suggest avoiding directional terms like below.)

Kibana PR is up - elastic/kibana#166930

[kilfoyle]

Here are PRs for the Beats install docs and the Elastic Agent install docs.

[kilfoyle]

The Beats docs are all updated now to mention ARM support. Here's the Metricbeat install page, as an example.

Closing this issue as done as all places were updated then.
