Hi Team

There are 2 modules in Metricbeat to collect Logstash metrics

- logstash
- logstash-xpack

Which module should be used ?

Hi,

logstash module: This is the basic module for collecting metrics from Logstash. If you're not using X-Pack features or you're using the open source version of Logstash, this is the module you should use.

logstash-xpack module: This module is specifically designed for collecting metrics from Logstash when it's running with X-Pack.

Regards.

Thanks @yago82 , I enabled default logstash module, configured metricbeat to send output to elasticsearch cluster. I am able to see metrics with `metricset.name : "node"` but there are no metrics for `metricset.name : "node_stats"`, though both metric-stats are enabled. Any idea about this ?

Hi,

your config is something like this?

metricbeat.modules:

- module: logstash  
metricsets: ["node", "node\_stats"]  
enabled: true  
period: 10s  
hosts: ["localhost:9600"]

yes, similar config.  
what I observed is, if I stop logstash service, then I am able to see metrics for `node_stats` as well. Is this something related to log level ?
