I recently started learning ELK . I am trying to setup monitoring X-pack on logstash but couldn't find the directory called plugins like in Elasticsearch or kibana . Moreover , can I please know how to configure below settings in logstash . Should we need to configure them in logstash.yml ? because I created seperate logstash conf file.
Assuming you have successfully installed x-pack for Logstash, you should put the x-pack monitoring configuration settings in your existing logstash.yml file.
Thank you for the reply. I downloaded the zipped x-pack file to logstash and unzipped it . I specified the parameters in logstash.yml but I am getting an below error
That sounds like x-pack hasn't been installed for Logstash - did you follow all of the the installation instructions - in particular the command to install the plugin by invoking either bin/logstash-plugin install x-pack or bin/logstash-plugin install file:///path/to/file/x-pack-5.6.3.zip if your logstash server does not have internet access.
