Description

@exekias

New command line interface has been merged #4420

This adds subcommands for different actions while keeping backwards compatibility if no subcommand is given (it will execute run). We will need to document the new features and update existing invocations to the new format.

We may probably want to support documentation for beat specific subcommands in the future, apart from the default, common ones.

Right now we have:

$ metricbeat help
$ metricbeat version
$ metricbeat configtest
$ metricbeat setup
$ metricbeat run
$ metricbeat (alias for metricbeat run)
