Kibana input plugin

The kibana plugin queries Kibana status API to obtain the health status of Kibana and some useful metrics.

This plugin has been tested and works on Kibana 6.x versions.

Configuration

[[inputs.kibana]]
  ## specify a list of one or more Kibana servers
  servers = ["http://localhost:5601"]

  ## Timeout for HTTP requests
  timeout = "5s"

  ## HTTP Basic Auth credentials
  # username = "username"
  # password = "pa$$word"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

• green - 1
• yellow - 2
• red - 3
• unknown - 0
