Monitor Metricbeatedit

You can use the Elastic Stack monitoring features to gain insight into the health of Metricbeat instances running in your environment.

To monitor Metricbeat, make sure monitoring is enabled on your Elasticsearch cluster, then configure the method used to collect Metricbeat metrics. You can use one of following methods:

  • Internal collection - Internal collectors send monitoring data directly to your monitoring cluster.
  • Metricbeat collection - Metricbeat collects monitoring data from your Metricbeat instance and sends it directly to your monitoring cluster.
