Configure Netdata collector for Elasticsearch

Netdata is a tool to monitor your servers and you can also configure specific service data collection. Here we'll show how to monitor an Elasticsearch cluster. The module is included with NetData installation, and uses the _health API from Elasticsearch. Start by editing the configuration file:


cd /etc/netdata
./edit-config go.d/elasticsearch.conf

Then add the following job:


jobs:
  - name: a name
    url: ELASTICSEARCH_URL
    collect_node_stats: yes
    collect_cluster_health: yes
    collect_cluster_stats: yes
    collect_indices_stats: yes

Restart Netdata:


systemctl restart netdata
