Built-in Metrics

Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene.

Auto-Detection

Glouton detects Elasticsearch by its process and listening port (default: 9200).

If auto-detected parameters are incorrect, override them manually:

Linux

sudo tee /etc/glouton/conf.d/99-elasticsearch.conf > /dev/null << 'EOF'
service:
  # For an Elasticsearch running outside a container
  - type: "elasticsearch"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 9200

  # For an additional Elasticsearch running outside a container
  - type: "elasticsearch"
    instance: "NAME_ASSOCIATED_WITH_YOUR_ADDITIONAL_SERVICE"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 9201

  # For an Elasticsearch running in a Docker container
  - type: "elasticsearch"
    instance: "CONTAINER_NAME"
    address: "172.17.0.2"
    port: 9200
EOF

Windows

Create or edit C:\ProgramData\glouton\conf.d\99-elasticsearch.conf:

service:
  # For an Elasticsearch running outside a container
  - type: "elasticsearch"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 9200

  # For an additional Elasticsearch running outside a container
  - type: "elasticsearch"
    instance: "NAME_ASSOCIATED_WITH_YOUR_ADDITIONAL_SERVICE"
    address: "127.0.0.1"
    port: 9201

  # For an Elasticsearch running in a Docker container
  - type: "elasticsearch"
    instance: "CONTAINER_NAME"
    address: "172.17.0.2"
    port: 9200

Glouton automatically detects configuration changes.

Health Check

Glouton performs an HTTP check on the configured port to verify that Elasticsearch is responding.
