Enterprise Search moduleedit

This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

This module periodically fetches metrics and health information from Elastic Enterprise Search instances using HTTP APIs.

Compatibilityedit

The module has been tested with Enterprise Search versions 7.16.0 and higher. Versions below 7.16.0 are not expected to work due to a number of API-level incompatibilities.

Usageedit

The Enterprise Search module requires a set of credentials (a username and a password) for an Elasticserch user for a user that has a monitor cluster privilege.

Usage for Elastic Stack Monitoringedit

The Enterprise Search module can be used to collect metrics shown in our Stack Monitoring UI in Kibana. To enable this usage, set xpack.enabled: true in configuration.

When this module is used for Elastic Stack Monitoring, it sends metrics to the monitoring index instead of the default index typically used by Metricbeat. For more details about the monitoring index, see Configuring indices for monitoring.
