Hello Anyone has wrote anything to monitor for say Nagios and/or Munin ? I know I can just check the port with Nagios but it would be nice if we can get same 'useful' stats we could plot with Munin... Thanks -ls ---

This is what I use- it's quick & dirty but gets the job done. It checks the cluster health, and outputs performance counters for index size & count (hardcoded to use an alias called "current") -david On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 11:04 AM, Luc Suryo [lsuryo@gmail.com](mailto:lsuryo@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello > > Anyone has wrote anything to monitor for say Nagios and/or Munin ? > I know I can just check the port with Nagios but it would be nice if > we can get same 'useful' stats we could plot with Munin... > > Thanks > -ls ---

It's a (Ruby) plugin for Nagios that will will parse JSON from an HTTP response. We use it to monitor Elasticsearch (among other things). It works well enough. Full disclosure: I wrote it. 🙂 Cheers, -- Daniel Maher « can't talk, too busy calculating computrons. » ---

Hi, same here, we use check\_json (in python, from Peter Kropf: [http://peterkropf.com/archives/10](http://peterkropf.com/archives/10) ) And for some metrics, we send them to collectd, values taken from /\_cluster/nodes/\_local/stats on each node.
