== HTTP Exporter
|
|
|
|
When you configure
|
|
an exporter in `elasticsearch.yml`, the default `local` exporter is disabled.
|
|
|
|
The `http` exporter uses the low-level {es} REST Client. This allows
|
|
the `http` exporter to send its data to any {es} cluster it can access
|
|
through the network.
|
|
|
|
The `http` exporter supports a number of settings that control how it
|
|
communicates over HTTP to remote clusters. In most cases, it is not
|
|
necessary to explicitly configure these settings. For detailed
|
|
descriptions, see {ref}/monitoring-settings.html[Monitoring Settings].

|
|
<1> A `local` exporter defined explicitly whose arbitrary name is `my_local`.
|
|
<2> An `http` exporter defined whose arbitrary name is `my_remote`.
|
|
<3> `host` is a required setting for `http` exporters, which can take a few
|
|
different forms as described in the table below.
|
|
<4> User authentication for those using {security} or some other
|
|
form of user authentication protecting the cluster.
|
|
<5> See below for all TLS / SSL settings. If not supplied, the default
|
|
node-level TLS / SSL settings will be used.
|
|
<6> Optional base path to prefix any outgoing request with in order to
|
|
work with proxies.
|
|
<7> Arbitrary key/value pairs to define as headers to send with every request.
|
|
The array-based key/value format sends one header per value.
|
|
<8> A mechanism for changing the date suffix used by default.
