Hi guys, Just want to ask which lib or technologies ES used for monitoring, like generating reports about requests time, refresh time, GC related information...

Hi. Have you already tried these two plugins for Elasticsearch?

Installing these two plugins in ES is rather easy and between the two of them you should get all the information that you need about your cluster.

Opps sorry, I didn't mean front end monitoring. Actually I use both plugins. What I asked is that how ES can provide those plugins with such details information? I want to incorporate those information into our product, written in Java of course.

Yes kind of that, I am just wondering how does ES generate that information?

Sigar is optional, lots of info come from the operating system and JVM management API [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/management/package-summary.html](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/management/package-summary.html) Jörg On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 3:48 PM, Le Son Phung [leson.phung@gmail.com](mailto:leson.phung@gmail.com) wrote: > Ah ok thanks a lot guys, will play with it. > > On Wednesday, August 14, 2013, AlexR wrote: > > > Sigar > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > > Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > > [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/elasticsearch/AbM4bFsIH3s/unsubscribe](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/elasticsearch/AbM4bFsIH3s/unsubscribe). > > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > > [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > > > > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "elasticsearch" group. > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Yes it is optional but without it quite a few metrics will not be delivered by ES. I would stick with jvm stats of you can. I looked at sigar only briefly while working on embedding ES into tomcat and it seems pretty big project with good deal of legacy weighting it... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
