I have a Docker Swarm with a total of 4 nodes (1 leader, 3 workers), and I've been using Metricbeat to capture system metrics (CPU, etc.). Metricbeat is installed on all four nodes, but outside of Docker. Each node sends metrics to a separate ES index. I can see some docker metrics on the lead node (where ELK is also installed), but I want to see docker metrics for all of the nodes. How do I do this?
1. Do I just enable docker metrics on the other nodes? If so, do I need to send all the information to one single ES index?
2. Do I need to redo the installation and install Metricbeat with docker? Does this go on all four nodes?
Any help greatly appreciated!
