What's the best way to monitor health of Kibana nodes?

[zachy]

Typically, we use DataDog to monitor the health of our nodes (Elasticsearch and Logstash)

After some research it doesnt seem like there are any metrics that Kibana has that we can monitor using Datadog.

What's the best alternative to monitor the health of my Kibana nodes?

Hi there,
If you are already using Datadog, you should query the kibana status API directly to get the instance status- which is :

localhost:5601/api/status
when I did this on my local instance I got :
