Can anyone please tell me the reason for this behavior?
Facing one more issue, for CPU usage also value also not available continuously on dashboard. And its show always 50% for CPU usage which is not correct value always.
One more query:- If we have installed metricbeat on 10 server then we need to import metricbeat dashboard on all 10 server or i have imported on one server that is enough.
###################### Metricbeat Configuration Example #######################
# This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
# options. The metricbeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the
# supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.
#
# You can find the full configuration reference here:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/index.html
#========================== Modules configuration ============================
metricbeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
#================================ General =====================================
# The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group
# all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.
#name:
# The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each
# transaction published.
#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]
# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
# output.
#fields:
# env: staging
#======================Metric Beat Module=============================
metricbeat.modules:
#------------------------------- System Module -------------------------------
- module: system
metricsets:
- cpu # CPU usage
# - filesystem # File system usage for each mountpoint
# - fsstat # File system summary metrics
- load # CPU load averages
- memory # Memory usage
- network # Network IO
- process # Per process metrics
- process_summary # Process summary
- uptime # System Uptime
- core # Per CPU core usage
- diskio # Disk IO
# - socket # Sockets and connection info (linux only)
enabled: true
period: 20s
processes: ['.*']
# Configure the metric types that are included by these metricsets.
cpu.metrics: ["percentages"] # The other available options are normalized_percentages and ticks.
core.metrics: ["percentages"] # The other available option is ticks.
#-------------------------------- Nginx Module -------------------------------
- module: nginx
metricsets: ["stubstatus"]
# enabled: true
period: 10s
# Nginx hosts
hosts: ["http://127.0.0.1"]
# Path to server status. Default server-status
server_status_path: "server-status"
#============================== Dashboards =====================================
# These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
# the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
# options here, or by using the `-setup` CLI flag or the `setup` command.
#setup.dashboards.enabled: false
# The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
# has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
# versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co
# website.
#setup.dashboards.url:
#============================== Kibana =====================================
# Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
# This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
# Kibana Host
# Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
# In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
# IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
host: "XX.XX.XX.XX:XXXX"
#============================= Elastic Cloud ==================================
# These settings simplify using metricbeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).
# The cloud.id setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.hosts` and
# `setup.kibana.host` options.
# You can find the `cloud.id` in the Elastic Cloud web UI.
#cloud.id:
# The cloud.auth setting overwrites the `output.elasticsearch.username` and
# `output.elasticsearch.password` settings. The format is `<user>:<pass>`.
#cloud.auth:
#================================ Outputs =====================================
# Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
#output.elasticsearch:
# Array of hosts to connect to.
#hosts: []
# Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.
#protocol: "https"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
# The Logstash hosts
hosts: ["XYZ:7122"]
# Optional SSL. By default is off.
# List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]
ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/tls/ca.crt"]
ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/tls/client.crt"
ssl.key: "/etc/pki/tls/client.key"
ssl.key_passphrase: "ky9D=h=w2z2uUCjRqqWF"
# Certificate for SSL client authentication
#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
# Client Certificate Key
#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
#================================ Logging =====================================
# Sets log level. The default log level is info.
# Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug
#logging.level: debug
# At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.
# To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",
# "publish", "service".
#logging.selectors: ["*"]
#============================== Xpack Monitoring ===============================
# metricbeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring
# cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The
# reporting is disabled by default.
# Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
#xpack.monitoring.enabled: false
# Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
# Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well. Any setting that is not set is
# automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch output configuration, so if you
# have the Elasticsearch output configured, you can simply uncomment the
# following line.
#xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:
Looks pretty normal. I see you also have the modules.d directory enabled. Any modules enabled in there.
You also send the data through Logstash. Could you share the Logstash config?
How did you load the template for Metricbeat?
What is the index pattern you are using?
Now i am getting the data for all system metrics but not for Nginx.
I have loaded the metricbeat template manually because host running Metricbeat does not have direct connectivity to Elasticsearch. I will disable the module.d directory in config and enable DEBUG loglevel.
