{monitoring} enables you to easily monitor the health of your {es} cluster. The
|
||||
monitoring metrics are collected from each node and stored in {es} indices. You
|
||||
can then view the 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.

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`.
