Elasticsearch monitoring with Netdata
Elasticsearch
is a search engine based on the Lucene library.
This module monitors one or more Elasticsearch
instances, depending on your configuration.
Used endpoints:
- Local node metrics:
/_nodes/_local/stats
- Local node indices' metrics:
/_cat/indices?local=true
- Cluster health metrics:
/_cluster/health
- Cluster metrics:
/_cluster/stats
Each endpoint can be enabled/disabled in the module configuration file.

All metrics have "elasticsearch." prefix.

Configuration
Edit the go.d/elasticsearch.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the
Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/elasticsearch.conf
To add a new endpoint to collect metrics from, or change the URL that Netdata looks for, add or configure the name
and
url
values. Endpoints can be both local or remote as long as they expose their metrics on the provided URL.
Here is an example with two endpoints:
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:9200
- name: remote
url: http://203.0.113.0:9200
For all available options, see the Elasticsearch
collector's configuration file.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the elasticsearch
collector, run the go.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The
output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
-
Navigate to the plugins.d
directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's not the case on
your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the plugins
setting under [directories]
.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-
Switch to the netdata
user.
sudo -u netdata -s
-
Run the go.d.plugin
to debug the collector:
./go.d.plugin -d -m elasticsearch
