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.

|
|
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}:
|
|
|

|
#username: "user"
|
|
#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.

By default, the {metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-module-system.html[system module] is
|
|
enabled. The information it collects, however, is not shown on the *Monitoring*
|
|
page in {kib}. Unless you want to use that information for other purposes, run

the following command:

|
=== 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+):
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
http.port: 5067
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
--
|
|
|
|

|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
// include::{beats-repo-dir}/monitoring/monitoring-metricbeat.asciidoc[tag=disable-beat-collection]
|
|
Add the following setting in the {beatname_uc} configuration file
|
|
(+{beatname_lc}.yml+):
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
monitoring.enabled: false
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. Start {beatname_uc}.
|
|
|
|
. {metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-installation.html[Install {metricbeat}] on the
|
|
same server as {beatname_uc}. If you already have {metricbeat} installed on the
|
|
server, skip this step.
|
|
|
|
. Enable the `beat-xpack` module in {metricbeat}.
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
// 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:
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
metricbeat modules enable beat-xpack
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For more information, see
|
|
{metricbeat-ref}/configuration-metricbeat.html[Specify which modules to run] and
|
|
{metricbeat-ref}/metricbeat-module-beat.html[beat module].
|
|
--
|
|
|

. Configure the `beat-xpack` module in {metricbeat}. +
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
// 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:
|
|
- stats
|
|

|
|
period: 10s
|
|
hosts: ["http://localhost:5066"]
|
|
#username: "user"
|
|
#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.
