I have this top topic where I've tried to explain my problem with the Mongo dashboard, however I got no reply.
I believe I'm misunderstanding the usage of the components so I will try to explain how I have it build here.
I have mainly two linux servers, let's say:
-
Server 1: with the whole ELK installed: fb, mb, pb, logstack, elastic and kibana);
-
Server 2: mongodb with filebeat metricbeat and packectbeat.
The server 2 is shipping to the server 1, however I have the following logstash configuration:
input
{
beats {
port => 5044
}
}
Could it be the problem of not showing the expected Mongo dashboards?
How can I investigate to check what is really happening with this?
Is the data making it to Elasticsearch? What are you seeing in localhost:9200/_cat/indices for Elasticsearch? I would also suggest checking the filebeat/metricbeat/packetbeat logs on server 2.
@tylersmalley, yes the data is making into elastic. Following is the image of the _cat/indices
Looking into the logs in metric beat: /var/logs/metribeat I see nothing related to errors. I will put the logs here as fast as I can.
Hi everyone,
I've made a change which has partially fixed the problem. In the metribeat.yml I changed the parameter setup.dashboards.enable to true and now I'm seeing the dashboard populated, that's a positive fact. On the other hand, I'm getting now the following error when refreshing the Kibana's dashboard: "Field is a required parameter". Do you know why?
By curiosity, why is the dashboard working after changing this flag?
Please, anyone here can help?
