Question
What is /usr/bin/beamium and why is it running on my server?
Answer
Beamium is a metrics collection daemon provided by OVH.
https://github.com/ovh/beamium
Beamium collects metrics from HTTP endpoints like http://127.0.0.1/metrics
and supports Prometheus and Warp 10™/Sensision format. Once scraped, Beamium can filter and forward data to a Warp 10™ Time Series platform. While acquiring metrics, Beamium uses DFO (Disk Fail Over) to prevent metrics loss due to eventual network issues or unavailable service.
OVH has enabled beamium on servers by default. If you have questions or concerns about beamium being on your OVH server please provide your input at the GitHub issue:
https://github.com/ovh/beamium/issues/91
Or reach out to OVH support.
