The {esms} ({esms-init}) is a monitoring cluster on {ecloud}. Elastic provides
|
||
|
and maintains {esms-init} for self-managed commercial customers. If you send
|
||
|
your monitoring data to {esms-init}, it can also be used by Elastic support to
|
||
|
provide better and faster incident resolution.
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: You must obtain your {esms-init} cluster URLs and credentials from the
|
||
|
Elastic support team.

=== Collecting monitoring data about {es}
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are two methods for collecting and sending data about the health of your
|
||
|
production cluster to {esms-init}:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* {metricbeat}
|
||
|
* collectors and exporters
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use {metricbeat}:
|
||
|
|
||
|
. Enable the collection of monitoring data on your cluster.

=== Collecting monitoring data about {kib}
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are two methods for sending monitoring data about {kib} to {esms-init}.
|
||
|
You can send it directly to {esms-init} by using {metricbeat} or you can route
|
||
|
it through exporters on the production cluster.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use {metricbeat}:
|
||
|
|
||
|
. Disable the default collection of {kib} monitoring metrics. +

|
||
|
--
|
||
|
// include::{kib-repo-dir}/user/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=disable-kibana-collection]
|
||
|
Add the following setting in the {kib} configuration file (`kibana.yml`):
|
||
|
|
||
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
xpack.monitoring.kibana.collection.enabled: false
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
For more information, see
|

{kibana-ref}/monitoring-settings-kb.html[Monitoring settings in {kib}].

--
|
||
|
|
||
|
. {kibana-ref}/start-stop.html[Start {kib}].
|

. Ensure that the `xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled` setting is `true` on
|
||
|
each node in the production cluster.

|
|

The `modules.d/kibana-xpack.yml` file contains the following settings:

[source,yaml]
|

----------------------------------
|

||
|
#password: "secret"
|
||
|
xpack.enabled: true
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, the module collects {kib} monitoring metrics from `localhost:5601`.
|
||
|
If that host and port number are not correct, you must update the `hosts`
|
||
|
setting. If you configured {kib} to use encrypted communications, you must
|
||
|
access it via HTTPS. For example, use a `hosts` setting like
|
||
|
`https://localhost:5601`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
// include::{kib-repo-dir}/user/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=remote-monitoring-user]
|
||
|
If the Elastic {security-features} are enabled, you must also provide a user
|
||
|
ID and password so that {metricbeat} can collect metrics successfully:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Create a user on the production cluster that has the
|
||
|
`remote_monitoring_collector` <<built-in-roles,built-in role>>.
|
||
|
Alternatively, use the `remote_monitoring_user`
|
||
|
<<built-in-users,built-in user>>.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Add the `username` and `password` settings to the {kib} module configuration

file.

=== Collecting monitoring data about Beats

|
|
||
|
:beatname_lc: packetbeat
|

|
:beatname_uc: {packetbeat}
|
||
|
|

There are two methods for sending monitoring data about Beats to {esms-init}.
|
||
|
You can send it directly to {esms-init} by using {metricbeat} or you can route
|
||
|
it through exporters on the production cluster.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, to use {metricbeat} to monitor {beatname_uc}:
|
||
|
|
||
|
. Enable the HTTP endpoint to allow external collection of monitoring data:
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
// include::{beats-repo-dir}/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=enable-http-endpoint]

Add the following setting in the {beatname_uc} configuration file
|
||
|
(+{beatname_lc}.yml+):
|

||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
http.enabled: true
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, metrics are exposed on port 5066. If you need to monitor multiple
|
||
|
{beats} shippers running on the same server, set `http.port` to expose metrics
|
||
|
for each shipper on a different port number:

|
|

|

||
|
----------------------------------
|

|
(+{beatname_lc}.yml+):
|
||
|
|
||
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
monitoring.enabled: false
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
|
||
|
. Start {beatname_uc}.
|
||
|
|
||
|
. {metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-installation.html[Install {metricbeat}] on the

|

|
||
|
--
|
||
|
// include::{beats-repo-dir}/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=enable-beat-module]

For example, to enable the default configuration in the `modules.d` directory,
|
||
|
run the following command, using the correct command syntax for your OS:

--
|
||
|
// include::{beats-repo-dir}/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=configure-beat-module]
|
||
|
The `modules.d/beat-xpack.yml` file contains the following settings:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
- module: beat
|
||
|
metricsets:

||
|
#password: "secret"
|
||
|
xpack.enabled: true
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Set the `hosts`, `username`, and `password` settings as required by your
|
||
|
environment. For other module settings, it's recommended that you accept the
|
||
|
defaults.
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, the module collects {beatname_uc} monitoring data from
|
||
|
`localhost:5066`. If you exposed the metrics on a different host or port when
|
||
|
you enabled the HTTP endpoint, update the `hosts` setting.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To monitor multiple {beats} agents or APM Server instances, specify a list of
|
||
|
hosts, for example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
hosts: ["http://localhost:5066","http://localhost:5067","http://localhost:5068"]
|
||
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you configured {beatname_uc} to use encrypted communications, you must access
|
||
|
it via HTTPS. For example, use a `hosts` setting like `https://localhost:5066`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
// include::{beats-repo-dir}/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=remote-monitoring-user]
|
||
|
If the Elastic {security-features} are enabled, you must also provide a user
|
||
|
ID and password so that {metricbeat} can collect metrics successfully:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Create a user on the production cluster that has the
|
||
|
`remote_monitoring_collector` <<built-in-roles,built-in role>>.
|
||
|
Alternatively, if it's available in your environment, use the
|
||
|
`remote_monitoring_user` <<built-in-users,built-in user>>.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. Add the `username` and `password` settings to the beat module configuration
|
||
|
file.
