Hello,
I am trying to create a custom stack monitoring dashboard. Essentially I want to custom 'fake' the already existing stack monitoring.
I added metricbeat with the modules "elasticsearch" & "elasticsearch-xpack" & I am running metricbeat via cmd ".\metricbeat.exe -e".
I created a matching index pattern in kibana & want to start visualizing my data. Only problem is that the logs/data I receive from metricbeat are either wrong or incomplete.
I get all the data I need via the kibana console with the queries:
GET /_nodes/stats
GET /_cluster/stats
GET /metricbeat-7.6.0-2020.02.20-000001/_stats?pretty=true
GET /_cluster/health?pretty=true
GET /_cluster/pending_tasks
Can I configure metricbeat to deliver this data? Am I doing something wrong? I am at the end of my tether and do not know what I could change in my metricbeat configuration (yml + modules) to improve the situation. Any help is appreciated.
On a related issue: I ran "metricbeat -setup" and it cluttered my kibana with empty dashboards ... is there a way to get rid of this or even better run the setup again with specified dashboard options? E.g. I do not need dashboards for apache or kubernetes stuff.
I am only interested in monitoring my cluster/nodes.
Regards
