ELK integration with vcenter

[lvendluru (Lokesh)]

Hi ,

can you please suggest best method , how to integrate vcenter with ELK.?
i tried using metric-beats by enabling module "vsphere"...But, i am not able to get relevant data from vcenter.

PFB config file which i was using for vsphere....
##########Vsphere file##############

Module: vsphere

Docs: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.7/metricbeat-module-vsphere.html

• module: vsphere
  metricsets:

  • datastore
  • host
  • virtualmachine
    period: 10s
    hosts: ["https://hostname/sdk"]

  username: "username@vsphere"
  password: "XXXXXXX!"

  If insecure is true, don't verify the server's certificate chain

  insecure: true

  Get custom fields when using virtualmachine metric set. Default false.

  #get_custom_fields: true
