Metric beat yml file:
###################### Metricbeat Configuration Example #######################
This file is an example configuration file highlighting only the most common
options. The metricbeat.reference.yml file from the same directory contains all the
supported options with more comments. You can use it as a reference.
You can find the full configuration reference here:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/index.html
#========================== Modules configuration ============================
metricbeat.config.modules:
Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
#==================== Elasticsearch template setting ==========================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
#================================ General =====================================
The name of the shipper that publishes the network data. It can be used to group
all the transactions sent by a single shipper in the web interface.
#name:
The tags of the shipper are included in their own field with each
transaction published.
#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]
Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
output.
#fields:
env: staging
#============================== Dashboards =====================================
These settings control loading the sample dashboards to the Kibana index. Loading
the dashboards is disabled by default and can be enabled either by setting the
options here, or by using the -setup CLI flag or the setup command.
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
The URL from where to download the dashboards archive. By default this URL
has a value which is computed based on the Beat name and version. For released
versions, this URL points to the dashboard archive on the artifacts.elastic.co
website.
#setup.dashboards.url:
#============================== Kibana =====================================
Starting with Beats version 6.0.0, the dashboards are loaded via the Kibana API.
This requires a Kibana endpoint configuration.
setup.kibana:
Kibana Host
Scheme and port can be left out and will be set to the default (http and 5601)
In case you specify and additional path, the scheme is required: http://localhost:5601/path
IPv6 addresses should always be defined as: https://[2001:db8::1]:5601
host: "http://localhost:5601/app/kibana"
Kibana Space ID
ID of the Kibana Space into which the dashboards should be loaded. By default,
the Default Space will be used.
#space.id:
#============================= Elastic Cloud ==================================
These settings simplify using metricbeat with the Elastic Cloud (https://cloud.elastic.co/).
The cloud.id setting overwrites the output.elasticsearch.hosts and
setup.kibana.host options.
You can find the cloud.id in the Elastic Cloud web UI.
#cloud.id:
The cloud.auth setting overwrites the output.elasticsearch.username and
output.elasticsearch.password settings. The format is <user>:<pass>.
#cloud.auth:
#================================ Outputs =====================================
Configure what output to use when sending the data collected by the beat.
#-------------------------- Elasticsearch output ------------------------------
output.elasticsearch:
Array of hosts to connect to.
hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]
Enabled ilm (beta) to use index lifecycle management instead daily indices.
#ilm.enabled: false
Optional protocol and basic auth credentials.
#protocol: "https"
#username: "elastic"
#password: "changeme"
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
#output.logstash:
The Logstash hosts
#hosts: ["localhost:5044"]
Optional SSL. By default is off.
List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
#ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]
Certificate for SSL client authentication
#ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
Client Certificate Key
#ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
#================================ Processors =====================================
Configure processors to enhance or manipulate events generated by the beat.
processors:
- add_host_metadata: ~
- add_cloud_metadata: ~
#================================ Logging =====================================
Sets log level. The default log level is info.
Available log levels are: error, warning, info, debug
#logging.level: debug
logging.level: info
logging.to_files: true
logging.files:
path: /opt/app/beats/metricbeat/logs
name: metricbeat.log
keepfiles: 3
At debug level, you can selectively enable logging only for some components.
To enable all selectors use ["*"]. Examples of other selectors are "beat",
"publish", "service".
#logging.selectors: ["*"]
#============================== Xpack Monitoring ===============================
metricbeat can export internal metrics to a central Elasticsearch monitoring
cluster. This requires xpack monitoring to be enabled in Elasticsearch. The
reporting is disabled by default.
Set to true to enable the monitoring reporter.
#xpack.monitoring.enabled: false
Uncomment to send the metrics to Elasticsearch. Most settings from the
Elasticsearch output are accepted here as well. Any setting that is not set is
automatically inherited from the Elasticsearch output configuration, so if you
have the Elasticsearch output configured, you can simply uncomment the
following line.
#xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch:
kibana yml:
Kibana is served by a back end server. This setting specifies the port to use.
server.port: 5601
Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.
The default is 'localhost', which usually means remote machines will not be able to connect.
To allow connections from remote users, set this parameter to a non-loopback address.
server.host: "localhost"
Enables you to specify a path to mount Kibana at if you are running behind a proxy.
Use the server.rewriteBasePath setting to tell Kibana if it should remove the basePath
from requests it receives, and to prevent a deprecation warning at startup.
This setting cannot end in a slash.
#server.basePath: ""
Specifies whether Kibana should rewrite requests that are prefixed with
server.basePath or require that they are rewritten by your reverse proxy.
This setting was effectively always false before Kibana 6.3 and will
default to true starting in Kibana 7.0.
#server.rewriteBasePath: false
The maximum payload size in bytes for incoming server requests.
#server.maxPayloadBytes: 1048576
The Kibana server's name. This is used for display purposes.
server.name: "dummyURL"
The URLs of the Elasticsearch instances to use for all your queries.
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://localhost:9200"]
When this setting's value is true Kibana uses the hostname specified in the server.host
setting. When the value of this setting is false, Kibana uses the hostname of the host
that connects to this Kibana instance.
#elasticsearch.preserveHost: true
Kibana uses an index in Elasticsearch to store saved searches, visualizations and
dashboards. Kibana creates a new index if the index doesn't already exist.
kibana.index: ".kibana"
The default application to load.
#kibana.defaultAppId: "home"
If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide
the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana
index at startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which
is proxied through the Kibana server.
#elasticsearch.username: "user"
#elasticsearch.password: "pass"
Enables SSL and paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and SSL key files, respectively.
These settings enable SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana server to the browser.
#server.ssl.enabled: false
#server.ssl.certificate: /path/to/your/server.crt
#server.ssl.key: /path/to/your/server.key
Optional settings that provide the paths to the PEM-format SSL certificate and key files.
These files validate that your Elasticsearch backend uses the same key files.
#elasticsearch.ssl.certificate: /path/to/your/client.crt
#elasticsearch.ssl.key: /path/to/your/client.key
Optional setting that enables you to specify a path to the PEM file for the certificate
authority for your Elasticsearch instance.
#elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: [ "/path/to/your/CA.pem" ]
To disregard the validity of SSL certificates, change this setting's value to 'none'.
#elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: full
Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch to respond to pings. Defaults to the value of
the elasticsearch.requestTimeout setting.
#elasticsearch.pingTimeout: 1500
Time in milliseconds to wait for responses from the back end or Elasticsearch. This value
must be a positive integer.
#elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 30000
List of Kibana client-side headers to send to Elasticsearch. To send no client-side
headers, set this value to (an empty list).
#elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [ authorization ]
Header names and values that are sent to Elasticsearch. Any custom headers cannot be overwritten
by client-side headers, regardless of the elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist configuration.
#elasticsearch.customHeaders: {}
Time in milliseconds for Elasticsearch to wait for responses from shards. Set to 0 to disable.
#elasticsearch.shardTimeout: 30000
Time in milliseconds to wait for Elasticsearch at Kibana startup before retrying.
#elasticsearch.startupTimeout: 5000
Logs queries sent to Elasticsearch. Requires logging.verbose set to true.
#elasticsearch.logQueries: false
Specifies the path where Kibana creates the process ID file.
#pid.file: /var/run/kibana.pid
Enables you specify a file where Kibana stores log output.
#logging.dest: stdout
Set the value of this setting to true to suppress all logging output.
#logging.silent: false
Set the value of this setting to true to suppress all logging output other than error messages.
#logging.quiet: false
Set the value of this setting to true to log all events, including system usage information
and all requests.
#logging.verbose: false
Set the interval in milliseconds to sample system and process performance
metrics. Minimum is 100ms. Defaults to 5000.
#ops.interval: 5000
Specifies locale to be used for all localizable strings, dates and number formats.
#i18n.locale: "en"
