Hello I'm contacting you about collecting metrics for a java tomcat application. We want to collect metrics for our application and we need to put it on the ELK stack for graphing !! here below many config : ``` ==> on my tomcat server : ``` -- jolokia running on port 8778 -- jolokia.yml : - module: jolokia metricsets: ["jmx"] hosts: ["localhost:8778"] period: 10s namespace: "jvm" jmx.mappings: - mbean: "java.lang:type=Memory" attributes: - attr: "HeapMemoryUsage" field: "memory.heap" - attr: "NonHeapMemoryUsage" field: "memory.nonheap" - mbean: "java.lang:type=Threading" attributes: - attr: "ThreadCount" field: "thread.count" event: threads - attr: "DaemonThreadCount" field: "thread.daemon" event: threads jmx.application: jmx.instance: -- metricbeat.yml : output.elasticsearch: hosts: ["server\_elastic:9200"] the question is, we have to create a configuration on logstash? pipelines for example? or is the output to elasticsearch enough? Thank you for your answer regards sai ---

Hi, You do not need to create a LogStash pipeline for this usecase. MetricBeat will send the data in the correct form to ElasticSearch so you do not need to parse anything. Best regards Wolfram ---

note that i have not restart elk stack and on my metricbeat machine log i see : ``` Mar 03 17:51:50 id-pp-prov-rt2-a metricbeat[16426]: 2020-03-03T17:51:50.274+0100 INFO [monitoring] log/log.go:145 Non-zero metrics in the last 30s {"monitoring": {"metrics": {"beat":{"cpu":{"system":{"ticks":4350,"time":{"ms":112}},"total":{"ticks":10190,"time":{"ms":284},"value":10190},"user":{"ticks":5840,"time":{"ms":172}}},"handles":{"limit":{"hard":4096,"soft":1024},"open":10},"info":{"ephemeral_id":"25152cf0-58e5-4991-9da2-ada70ed237b3","uptime":{"ms":1050096}},"memstats":{"gc_next":15689216,"memory_alloc":8114200,"memory_total":1913013072,"rss":-2736128},"runtime":{"goroutines":46}},"libbeat":{"config":{"module":{"running":0}},"output":{"events":{"acked":69,"batches":6,"total":69},"read":{"bytes":2455},"write":{"bytes":89385}},"pipeline":{"clients":4,"events":{"active":1,"published":70,"total":70},"queue":{"acked":69}}},"metricbeat":{"jolokia":{"jmx":{"events":3,"success":3}},"system":{"cpu":{"events":3,"success":3},"filesystem":{"events":17,"success":17},"fsstat":{"events":1,"success":1},"load":{"events":4,"success":4},"memory":{"events":3,"success":3},"network":{"events":12,"success":12},"process":{"events":21,"success":21},"process_summary":{"events":3,"success":3},"socket_summary":{"events":3,"success":3}}},"system":{"load":{"1":0.07,"15":0.25,"5":0.2,"norm":{"1":0.07,"15":0.25,"5":0.2}}}}}} ``` Regards sai ---

Hi Sai, As the jolokia module can be widely configured and changed to fit the customers needs it would be hard - or even impossible - do create a dashboard for the customers. I think the tomcat module of metricbeat - which is still in BETA - will get a dashboard as soon as it is GA as this has a defined set of metrics which can only be enabled or disabled... So for now, you would have to create your own dashboards. Best regards Wolfram ---

Hi @Wolfram_Haussig Here below my conf in logstash server `pipelines.yml`: - pipeline.id: pipeline\_metrics path.config: "/opt/logstash/config/conf.d/pipeline\_metrics.conf" ``` input { ``` beats { port =\> 5044 } } output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"] index =\> "%{[@metadata][beat]}-%{[@metadata][metricbeat-7.6.0]}" } } my probleme i don't have any entries in elk stack 😕 thanks ---

Hi, Why are you using LogStash for this case? I think that the data is being written to the wrong index or it is not written at all. I would recommend that you configure MetricBeat to write directly to ElasticSearch. If this is not possible please check that: - does the logstash log show any errors? - if you have monitoring enabled please check if the pipeline is receiving and sending data - check in Kibana if you can see the correct index being created and written to Best regards Wolfram ---
