{monitoring} enables you to easily monitor the health of your {es} cluster. The
|
2018-02-23 11:23:16 -05:00
|
|
|
|
monitoring metrics are collected from each node and stored in {es} indices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each {es} node is considered unique based on its persistent UUID, which is
|
|
|
|
|
written on first start to its <<path-settings,`path.data`>> directory, which
|
|
|
|
|
defaults to `./data`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can view the monitoring data from {kib} where it’s easy to spot issues at a
|
|
|
|
|
glance or delve into the system behavior over time to diagnose operational
|
|
|
|
|
issues. In addition to the built-in status warnings, you can also set up custom
|
|
|
|
|
alerts based on the data in the monitoring indices.
