Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a search engine based on the Lucene library. It provides a distributed, multitenant-capable full-text search engine with an HTTP web interface and schema-free JSON documents. Elasticsearch is developed in Java.

Elasticsearch Cluster by HTTP

Overview

For Zabbix version: 6.2 and higher
The template to monitor Elasticsearch by Zabbix that work without any external scripts. It works with both standalone and cluster instances. The metrics are collected in one pass remotely using an HTTP agent. They are getting values from REST API _cluster/health, _cluster/stats, _nodes/stats requests.

This template was tested on:

  • Elasticsearch, version 6.5..7.6

Setup

See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.

You can set {$ELASTICSEARCH.USERNAME} and {$ELASTICSEARCH.PASSWORD} macros in the template for using on the host level. If you use an atypical location ES API, don't forget to change the macros {$ELASTICSEARCH.SCHEME},{$ELASTICSEARCH.PORT}.

Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.

this could indicate a problem with slow disks, enriching of documents (highlighting the relevant text in search results, etc.),

or requesting too many results.

ES {#ES.NODE}: Indexing latency is too high

If the latency is increasing, it may indicate that you are indexing too many documents at the same time (Elasticsearch's documentation

recommends starting with a bulk indexing size of 5 to 15 megabytes and increasing slowly from there).

ES {#ES.NODE}: Flush latency is too high

If you see this metric increasing steadily, it may indicate a problem with slow disks; this problem may escalate

and eventually prevent you from being able to add new information to your index.
