I want to create the dashboards in my application showing the elastic cluster data and metrics as it is shown in Kibana app monitoring. For getting most of the data I can use cluster health apis. But I not getting much on how to get data over some time period. Like if I want to show search rate or indexing rate for last 7 days, how to get all this data?
Thanks in advance.

I think you can use Metricbeat to bring your cluster metrics into a dashbaord
Check it [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-elasticsearch.html)

What sort of app are you wanting to measure this from?

And you want the query rates that it makes against Elasticsearch? Or something else.

Hi Warkolm, I have a elasticsearch setup in which i am storing the various logs by creating various indices. Now i want to create dashboards which shows the various details like docs count, docs size, indexing rate, searching rate for a particular index. So for getting this data we have apis like `GET //_stats` but the problem is it gives only current data. I want to show these data for any time period.

Hi ylasri, yeah metricbeat can help with this, but i am not getting all data from metricbeat like in `GET //_stats` we get the data like `indexing.index_total, indexing.index_time_in_millis`, etc. So in metricbeat i am not getting such kind of data.

Why not just use the Monitoring functionality we provide?

I want to provide such functionality in my application. I am building logging system for some users so decided to have this monitoring functionality as well on my app also.

If the x-pack monitoring gets the data, you can get it from the .monitoring\* indexes but they are huge in terms of the number of fields (and nesting), though mostly self-documenting.
We are digging into these also for our product - basically you pick the metrics you want and pull them for the time period you want, but watch the scope as some are cluster level, some node level, etc. as I recall (I've not dug too deep yet; maybe will blog on it soon).

Thanks for your help, .monitoring-es-\* indices contains all the info I needed.
