Marvel Agent Ignoring settings and writing locally

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All, Thanks for any advice anyone can give on this issue!
My setting for Marvel agent in my production cluster is
marvel.agent.exporters
id1:
type: http
host: ["http://MonitoringNodeName:9200/"

I can get to http://MonitoringNodeName:9200/ from any node in the production cluster and see head for example.

But for some reason I get a lot of index not found errors in the main cluster log. Then just for the heck of it I manually created the index with today's date on the production cluster.

It immediately started filling with data. Why is the marvel.agent.exporters setting being ignored?

YAML is very sensitive to whitespace. Your issue is most likely related to that:

marvel.agent.exporters
  id1:
    type: http
    host: ["http://MonitoringNodeName:9200/"]

You were also missing a ] at the end of the example, but hopefully it was just a copy/paste issue.

Hi pickypg,

How do you post the code on this forum so it displays correctly?
