|
||
== Monitoring Settings
|
||
|
||
You configure <<monitoring-collection-settings, `xpack.monitoring.collection`>>
|
||
settings in `elasticsearch.yml` to control how data is collected from your
|
||
Elasticsearch nodes. You can adjust how monitoring data is displayed in the
|
||
Monitoring UI by configuring <<monitoring-ui-settings, `xpack.monitoring`>>
|
||
settings in `kibana.yml`.
|
||
|
||
For more information, see <<configuring-monitoring, Configuring Monitoring>>.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
[[general-monitoring-settings]]
|
||
=== General Monitoring Settings
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.enabled`::
|
||
Set to `false` to disable {monitoring}.
|
||
Configure in both `elasticsearch.yml` and `kibana.yml`.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
[[monitoring-collection-settings]]
|
||
=== Monitoring Collection Settings
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.cluster.state.timeout`::
|
||
|
||
Sets the timeout for collecting the cluster state. Defaults to `10m`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.cluster.stats.timeout`::
|
||
|
||
Sets the timeout for collecting the cluster statistics. Defaults to `10m`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.indices`::
|
||
|
||
Controls which indices Monitoring collects data from. Defaults to all indices. Specify the index names
|
||
as a comma-separated list, for example `test1,test2,test3`. Names can include wildcards, for
|
||
example `test*`. You can explicitly include or exclude indices by prepending
|
||
`+` to include the index, or `-` to exclude the index. For example, to include all indices that
|
||
start with `test` except `test3`, you could specify `+test*,-test3`.
|
||
+
|
||
You can update this setting through the Cluster Update Settings API.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.index.stats.timeout`::
|
||
|
||
Sets the timeout for collecting index statistics. Defaults to `10m`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.indices.stats.timeout`::
|
||
|
||
Sets the timeout for collecting total indices statistics. Defaults to `10m`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.exporters` ::
|
||
|
||
Configures where the agent stores monitoring data. By default, the agent uses a local exporter that
|
||
indexes monitoring data on the cluster where it is installed. Use an HTTP exporter to send data to
|
||
a separate monitoring cluster. For more information, see <<monitoring-cluster, Setting up a Separate
|
||
Monitoring Cluster>>.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.index.recovery.active_only`::
|
||
|
||
Controls whether or not all recoveries are collected. Set to `true` to
|
||
collect only active recoveries. Defaults to `false`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.index.recovery.timeout`::
|
||
|
||
Sets the timeout for collecting the recovery information. Defaults to `10m`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.interval`::
|
||
|
||
Controls how often data samples are collected. Defaults to `10s`. If you
|
||
modify the collection interval, set the `xpack.monitoring.min_interval_seconds`
|
||
option in `kibana.yml` to the same value. Set to `-1` to temporarily disable
|
||
data collection. You can update this setting through the Cluster Update
|
||
Settings API.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.history.duration`::
|
||
|
||
Sets the retention duration beyond which the indices created by a Monitoring exporter will
|
||
be automatically deleted. Defaults to `7d` (7 days).
|
||
+
|
||
This setting has a minimum value of `1d` (1 day) to ensure that something is being monitored,
|
||
and it cannot be disabled.
|
||
+
|
||
IMPORTANT: This setting currently only impacts `local`-type exporters. Indices created using
|
||
the `http` exporter will not be deleted automatically.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
[[monitoring-ui-settings]]
|
||
=== Monitoring UI Settings
|
||
|
||
You can set the following `xpack.monitoring` settings in `kibana.yml` to adjust
|
||
how the Monitoring UI displays monitoring data. However, the defaults work best
|
||
in most circumstances. For more information about configuring Kibana, see
|
||
{kibana-ref}/settings.html[Setting Kibana
|
||
Server Properties] in the Kibana User Guide.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url`::
|
||
|
||
The location of the Elasticsearch instance(s) where your monitoring data is
|
||
stored. By default, this is the same as the `elasticsearch.url`. This setting
|
||
enables you to use a single Kibana instance to search and visualize data in
|
||
your production cluster as well as monitor data sent to a dedicated monitoring
|
||
cluster.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.max_bucket_size`::
|
||
|
||
The number of term buckets to return out of the overall terms list when
|
||
performing terms aggregations to retrieve index and node metrics. For more
|
||
information about the `size` parameter, see {ref}/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html#_size[
|
||
Terms Aggregation] in the Elasticsearch Reference. Defaults to 10000.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.min_interval_seconds`::
|
||
|
||
The minimum number of seconds that a time bucket in a chart can represent.
|
||
Defaults to 10. If you modify the `xpack.monitoring.collection.interval`
|
||
in `elasticsearch.yml`, set this option to the same value.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.node_resolver`::
|
||
|
||
The node resolver controls how nodes are considered unique. This can be set to either `uuid`,
|
||
`transport_address`, or `name`. `uuid` controls uniqueness based on the node's persistent ID.
|
||
`transport_address` controls uniqueness based on the node's published
|
||
hostname/IP and port. `name` controls uniqueness based on the node's `node.name` setting. Defaults to
|
||
`uuid`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.report_stats`::
|
||
|
||
Whether or not to send cluster statistics to Elastic. Reporting your cluster statistics
|
||
helps us improve your user experience. Your data is never shared with anyone. Set to
|
||
`false` to disable statistics reporting from any browser connected to the Kibana instance.
|
||
You can also opt-out on a per-browser basis through the Monitoring user interface. Defaults to `true`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.kibana.collection.enabled`::
|
||
|
||
Whether or not to enable data collection from the Kibana NodeJS server for
|
||
Kibana Dashboards to be featured in the Monitoring UI. Defaults to `true`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.kibana.collection.interval`::
|
||
|
||
Number of milliseconds to wait in between data sampling for Kibana's NodeJS
|
||
server for the metrics that are displayed in the Kibana dashboards. Defaults to
|
||
`10000` (10 seconds).
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
[[monitoring-ui-cgroup-settings]]
|
||
==== Monitoring UI Container Settings
|
||
|
||
The Monitoring UI exposes the Cgroup statistics that we collect for you to make better decisions
|
||
about your container performance, rather than guessing based on the overall machine performance.
|
||
If you are not running your applications in a container, then Cgroup statistics will not be useful.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled`::
|
||
|
||
For Elasticsearch clusters that are running in containers, this setting changes the Node Listing to
|
||
display the CPU Utilization based on the reported Cgroup statistics. This will also add the calculated
|
||
Cgroup CPU Utilization to the Node Overview page instead of the overall operating system's CPU
|
||
Utilization. Defaults to `false`.

[float]
|
||
[[local-exporter-settings]]
|
||
==== Local Exporter Settings
|
||
|
||
The `local` exporter is the default exporter used by Monitoring. As the name is
|
||
meant to imply, it exports data to the _local_ cluster, which means that there
|
||
is not much needed to be configured.
|
||
|
||
If you do not supply _any_ exporters, then Monitoring will automatically create
|
||
one for you. If any exporter is provided, then no default is added.
|
||
|
||
[source,yaml]
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
xpack.monitoring.exporters.my_local:
|
||
type: local
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
`type`::
|
||
|
||
The value for a Local exporter must always be `local` and it is required.
|
||
|
||
`use_ingest`::
|
||
|
||
Whether to supply a placeholder pipeline to the cluster and a pipeline processor with
|
||
every bulk request. The default value is `true`. If disabled, then it means that it will not
|
||
use pipelines, which means that a future release cannot automatically upgrade bulk requests
|
||
to future-proof them.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
[[http-exporter-settings]]
|
||
==== HTTP Exporter Settings
|
||
|
||
The following lists settings that can be supplied with the `http` exporter.
|
||
All settings are shown as what follows the name you select for your exporter:
|
||
|
||
[source,yaml]
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
xpack.monitoring.exporters.my_remote:
|
||
type: http
|
||
host: ["host:port", ...]
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
`type`::
|
||
|
||
The value for an HTTP exporter must always be `http` and it is required.
|
||
|
||
`host`::
|
||
|
||
Host supports multiple formats, both as an array or as a single value. Supported formats include
|
||
`hostname`, `hostname:port`, `http://hostname` `http://hostname:port`, `https://hostname`, and
|
||
`https://hostname:port`. Hosts cannot be assumed. The default scheme is always `http` and the default
|
||
port is always `9200` if not supplied as part of the `host` string.
|
||
+
|
||
[source,yaml]

|
||
host: ["https://10.1.2.3:9200"]
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
`auth.username`::
|
||
|
||
The username is required if a `auth.password` is supplied.
|
||
|
||
`auth.password`::
|
||
|
||
The password for the `auth.username`.
|
||
|
||
`connection.timeout`::
|
||
|
||
The amount of time that the HTTP connection is supposed to wait for a socket to open for the
|
||
request. The default value is `6s`.
|
||
|
||
`connection.read_timeout`::
|
||
|
||
The amount of time that the HTTP connection is supposed to wait for a socket to
|
||
send back a response. The default value is `10 * connection.timeout` (`60s` if neither are set).
|
||
|
||
`ssl`::
|
||
|
||
Each HTTP exporter can define its own TLS / SSL settings or inherit them. See the
|
||
<<ssl-monitoring-settings, TLS / SSL section below>>.
|
||
|
||
`proxy.base_path`::
|
||
|
||
The base path to prefix any outgoing request, such as `/base/path` (e.g., bulk requests would
|
||
then be sent as `/base/path/_bulk`). There is no default value.
|
||
|
||
`headers`::
|
||
|
||
Optional headers that are added to every request, which can assist with routing requests through
|
||
proxies.
|
||
+
|
||
[source,yaml]
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
xpack.monitoring.exporters.my_remote:
|
||
headers:
|
||
X-My-Array: [abc, def, xyz]
|
||
X-My-Header: abc123
|
||
----------------------------------
|
||
+
|
||
Array-based headers are sent `n` times where `n` is the size of the array. `Content-Type`
|
||
and `Content-Length` cannot be set. Any headers created by the Monitoring agent will override
|
||
anything defined here.
|
||
|
||
`index.name.time_format`::
|
||
|
||
A mechanism for changing the default date suffix for the, by default, daily Monitoring indices.
|
||
The default value is `YYYY.MM.DD`, which is why the indices are created daily.
|
||
|
||
`use_ingest`::
|
||
|
||
Whether to supply a placeholder pipeline to the monitoring cluster and a pipeline processor with
|
||
every bulk request. The default value is `true`. If disabled, then it means that it will not
|
||
use pipelines, which means that a future release cannot automatically upgrade bulk requests
|
||
to future-proof them.

[[monitoring-logstash-settings]]
|
||
=== Monitoring Logstash Settings
|
||
|
||
You can set the following `xpack.monitoring` settings in `logstash.yml` to control how monitoring data is
|
||
collected from your Logstash nodes. However, the defaults work best in most circumstances. For more
|
||
information about configuring Logstash, see {logstash-ref}/logstash-settings-file.html[Settings File]
|
||
section.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.enabled`::
|
||
|
||
Set to `false` to disable X-Pack monitoring.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.collection.interval`::
|
||
|
||
Controls how often data samples are collected and shipped on the Logstash side. Defaults to `10s`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.url`::
|
||
|
||
The Elasticsearch instance(s) that you want to ship your Logstash metrics to.
|
||
This might be the same Elasticsearch instance specified in the `outputs`
|
||
section in your Logstash configuration, or a different one. This is *not*
|
||
the URL of your dedicated monitoring cluster. Even if you are using a dedicated
|
||
monitoring cluster, the Logstash metrics must be routed through your production
|
||
cluster. You can specify a single host as a string, or specify multiple
|
||
hosts as an array. Defaults to `http://localhost:9200`.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username` and `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password`::
|
||
|
||
If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide the username and
|
||
password that the Logstash instance uses to authenticate for shipping monitoring data.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.ca`::
|
||
|
||
Optional setting that enables you to specify a path to the `.pem` file for the certificate authority for your Elasticsearch instance.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.path`::
|
||
|
||
Optional settings that provide the paths to the Java keystore (JKS) to validate the server’s certificate.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.truststore.password`::
|
||
|
||
Optional settings that provide the password to the truststore.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.path`::
|
||
|
||
Optional settings that provide the paths to the Java keystore (JKS) to validate the client’s certificate.
|
||
|
||
`xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.ssl.keystore.password`::
|
||
|
||
Optional settings that provide the password to the keystore.
|
