Monitor Tomcat services using Beats

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I am using Beats->ElasticSearch->Kibana for viewing the metrics. Now I need to monitor the webapplications that are deployed on a tomcat server. How can we achieve this? Please help.

What exactly you would like to monitor? Metrics? Logs?

3

I would want to check the status of the web applications deployed in tomcat servers. Like whether the application is up or down?

4

I am looking for some suggestions from Elastic team

Have you already looked at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/heartbeat/current/heartbeat-getting-started.html ?

Yes. I have installed heartbeat on my server and it is up and running. I can monitor tomcat using tcp module over there. I am in need of monitoring the heartbeat of the webapps (one or more webapps) deployed in tomcat.

We use the following setting in haertbeat.yml to monitor our application - maybe this helps:

- type: http
  enabled: true
  name: "<Application Name>"
  urls: ["<Application Url>"]
  ssl.certificate_authorities: ["<Root-CA PAth>"]
  check.request.method: GET
  check.response.status: 200
  schedule: '@every 60s'

Thanks for the reply. What is the value we should input for Application Name?

We use the GIT project.name but you can use any name to identify the application - even to application path...

Thank you so much. It works!!
