Elasticsearch monitoring integration

Our Elasticsearch integration collects and sends inventory and metrics from your Elasticsearch cluster to our platform, where you can see the health of your Elasticsearch environment. We collect metrics at the cluster, node, and index level so you can more easily find the source of any problems.

Read on to install the integration, and to see what data we collect.

Compatibility and requirements

Our integration is compatible with Elasticsearch 5.x through 7.x

If Elasticsearch is not running on Kubernetes or Amazon ECS, you must install the infrastructure agent on a host that's running Elasticsearch. Otherwise:

If running on Kubernetes, see these requirements.
If running on ECS, see these requirements.

Quick start

Instrument your Elasticsearch cluster quickly and send your telemetry data with guided install. Our guided install creates a customized CLI command for your environment that downloads and installs the New Relic CLI and the infrastructure agent.

Guided install

EU Guided install

Our guided install uses the infrastructure agent to set up the Elasticsearch integration. Not only that, it discovers other applications and log sources running in your environment and then recommends which ones you should instrument.

The guided install works with most setups. But if it doesn't suit your needs, you can find other methods below to get started monitoring your Elasticsearch cluster.

Install and activate

To install the Elasticsearch integration, follow the instructions for your environment:

Follow the instructions for installing an integration, using the file name nri-elasticsearch.
Change directory to the integrations folder:
```
cd /etc/newrelic-infra/integrations.d
```

Copy the sample configuration file:

sudo cp elasticsearch-config.yml.sample elasticsearch-config.yml

Edit the elasticsearch-config.yml file as described in the configuration settings.
Restart the infrastructure agent.

Download the nri-elasticsearch .MSI installer image from:
http://download.newrelic.com/infrastructure_agent/windows/integrations/nri-elasticsearch/nri-elasticsearch-amd64.msi

To install from the Windows command prompt, run:

msiexec.exe /qn /i PATH\TO\nri-elasticsearch-amd64.msi

In the Integrations directory, C:\Program Files\New Relic\newrelic-infra\integrations.d\, create a copy of the sample configuration file by running:
```
cp elasticsearch-config.yml.sample elasticsearch-config.yml
```
Edit the elasticsearch-config.ymlfile as described in the configuration settings.
Restart the infrastructure agent.

Additional notes:

Advanced: Integrations are also available in tarball format to allow for install outside of a package manager.
On-host integrations do not automatically update. For best results, regularly update the integration package and the infrastructure agent.

Configuration

Configure the integration

There are several ways to configure the integration, depending on how it was installed:

If enabled via Kubernetes: see Monitor services running on Kubernetes.
If enabled via Amazon ECS: see Monitor services running on ECS.
If installed on-host: edit the config in the integration's YAML config file, elasticsearch-config.yml.

An integration's YAML-format configuration is where you can place required login credentials and configure how data is collected. Which options you change depend on your setup and preference.

The configuration file has common settings applicable to all integrations, such as interval, timeout, inventory_source. To read all about these common settings, refer to our Configuration Format document.

Important

If you are still using our legacy configuration/definition files, please refer to this document for help.

Specific settings related to Elasticsearch are defined using the env section of the configuration file. These settings control the connection to your Elasticsearch instance as well as other security settings and features. The list of valid settings is described in the next section of this document.

Elasticsearch Instance Settings

The Elasticsearch integration collects both metrics(M) and inventory(I) information. In the table, use the Applies To column for the settings available to each collection:

Setting	Description	Default	Applies to
HOSTNAME	Hostname or IP where Elasticsearch is running.	localhost	M/I
LOCAL_HOSTNAME	Hostname or IP of the Elasticsearch node from which to collect inventory data. Should only be set if you do not wish to collect inventory data against localhost.	localhost	M
PORT	Port on which Elasticsearch is listening.	9200	M/I
USERNAME	Username for accessing Elasticsearch Node.	N/A	M/I
PASSWORD	Password for the given user.	N/A	M/I
CLUSTER_ENVIRONMENT	A way to further specify which cluster we are gathering data for, example: 'staging'.	N/A	M/I
USE_SSL	Use SSL when communicating with the Elasticsearch node.	false	M/I
CA_BUNDLE_FILE	Location of SSL certificate on the host. Only required if `USE_SSL` is true.	N/A	M/I
CA_BUNDLE_DIR	Alternative Certificate Authority bundle directory.	N/A	M/I
SSL_ALTERNATIVE_HOSTNAME	Alternative server hostname that the integration will accept as valid for the purposes of SSL negotiation.	N/A	M/I
TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY	Skip the verification of the server's certificate chain and hostname.	false	M/I
CONFIG_PATH	Path to the Elasticsearch configuration file.	/etc/elasticsearch/ elasticsearch.yml	I
TIMEOUT	Timeout for API requests, in seconds.	30	M/I
COLLECT_INDICES	Signals whether to collect indices metrics or not.	true	M
COLLECT_PRIMARIES	Signals whether to collect primaries metrics or not.	true	M
INDICES_REGEX	Filter which indices are collected.	N/A	M
MASTER_ONLY	Collect cluster metrics on the elected master only.	false	M
METRICS	Set to `true` to enable metrics-only collection.	false
INVENTORY	Set to `true` to enable inventory-only collection.	false

The values for these settings can be defined in several ways:

Adding the value directly in the config file. This is the most common way.
Replacing the values from environment variables using the {{}} notation. This requires infrastructure agent v1.14.0+. Read more here or see the example below.
Using secrets management. Use this to protect sensitive information, such as passwords that would be exposed in plain text on the configuration file. For more information, see Secrets management.

Labels/Custom attributes

You can further decorate your metrics using labels. Labels allow you to add key/value pair attributes to your metrics, which you can then use to query, filter, or group your metrics on.
Our default sample config file includes examples of labels; however, as they are not mandatory, you can remove, modify, or add new ones of your choice.

labels:
   env: production
   role: load_balancer

Example configurations

This is the basic configuration used to collect metrics and inventory from your localhost:

integrations:
  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      HOSTNAME: localhost
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
      CONFIG_PATH: /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
    interval: 15s
    labels:
      environment: production
    inventory_source: config/elasticsearch

This configuration collects metrics every 15 seconds and inventory every 60 seconds:

integrations:
  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      METRICS: true
      HOSTNAME: localhost
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
      REMOTE_MONITORING: true
    interval: 15s
    labels:
      environment: production

  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      INVENTORY: true
      HOSTNAME: localhost
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
      CONFIG_PATH: /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
    interval: 60s
    labels:
      environment: production
    inventory_source: config/elasticsearch

In this configuration we are using the environment variable ELASTIC_HOST to populate the HOSTNAME setting of the integration:

integrations:
  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      METRICS: "true"
      HOSTNAME: {{ELASTIC_HOST}}
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
    interval: 15s
    labels:
      env: production
      role: load_balancer

In this configuration we are monitoring multiple Elasticsearch servers from the same integration. For the first instance (HOSTNAME: 1st_elasticsearch_host) we are collecting metrics and inventory while for the second instance (HOSTNAME: 2nd_elasticsearch_host) we will only collect metrics.

integrations:
  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      METRICS: "true"
      HOSTNAME: 1st_elasticsearch_host
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
    interval: 15s
    labels:
      env: production
      role: load_balancer
  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      INVENTORY: "true"
      HOSTNAME: /1st_elasticsearch_host
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
    interval: 60s
    labels:
      env: production
      role: load_balancer
    inventory_source: config/elasticsearch

  - name: nri-elasticsearch
    env:
      METRICS: "true"
      HOSTNAME: 2nd_elasticsearch_host
      PORT: 9200
      USERNAME: elasticsearch_user
      PASSWORD: elasticsearch_password
    interval: 15s
    labels:
      env: production
      role: load_balancer

Inventory data

The Elasticsearch integration captures the configuration parameters of the Elasticsearch node, as specified in the YAML config file. It also collects node configuration information from the "_nodes/_local" endpoint. The data is available on the Inventory page, under the config/elasticsearch source. For more about inventory data, see Understand integration data.

Check the source code

This integration is open source software. That means you can browse its source code and send improvements, or create your own fork and build it.
