Document using Metricbeat for collecting and shipping monitoring metrics #86
Comments
I apologize for missing this in the PR review, but looking at the "beta" note for monitoring Kibana above the new diagram in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/master/how-monitoring-works.html, it should say 6.4.0 instead of 6.5.0. I also just realized that we've pushed out the new diagram + "beta" note to the 6.x docs (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.x/how-monitoring-works.html) but we haven't shown users how to go about installing metricbeat and configuring it+Kibana to achieve the architecture shown in the diagram (item 3 in the checklist above). If you could point me to the right repo/files, I can take a shot at this and put up a PR for your review. Finally, just a heads up that we are getting close to having Metricbeat monitor Elasticsearch. It should be ready for the 6.5.0 release. You can follow along on our progress in elastic/beats#7035. This will require another update to the architecture diagram and also docs for showing users how to install metricbeat and configure it+Elasticsearch to achieve the new architecture. |
Thanks @ycombinator I've updated the beta note in master and 6.x branches via fa3dd33 Does this mean the new diagram should be retrofitted to the 6.4 branch too? |
Yes, please! |
If more products are updated to use metricbeat for monitoring, the appropriate documentation will be updated in new PRs. |
