Step 4: Setup Security

edit

Secure your installation by following the Secure Heartbeat documentation.

Important considerations

edit
  • Make sure you’re using the same major versions of Heartbeat and Kibana.
  • Index patterns tell Kibana which Elasticsearch indices you want to explore. The Uptime UI requires a heartbeat-8* index pattern. If you have configured a different index pattern, you can use index aliases to ensure data is recognized by the UI.

After you install and configure Heartbeat, the Uptime UI will automatically populate with the Heartbeat monitors.
