Maybe that should be logic that gets embedded into logp.

That would actually be nice. So we could use logp.* in all cases and it would decide if it needs fmt.* or not.

I opened an issue here to solve this later: #746

LGTM other than a few minor suggestions. |

I suggest also a test for the -testconfig option with a valid configuration file.

by convention error strings should start with lowercase, as these are often embedded in some other message.

Interesting. Looks like we don't follow this rule so far in beats.

I made all error messages lower case as discussed.
Parts of libbeat were exiting the application directly by using os.Exit(). This makes it impossible always clean up the application before cleanup. In addition, a manager which is part of a beat gets also exited in case the beat exits, which is not inteded. * os.Exit() was removed from all places * Additional tests were added to test exit behaviour * Test for version check was added * Add test for -configtest flag * Make error log messages starting lowercase
