Cluster Monitor

Welcome to the DBeast Monitor for Elastic Stack – an open-source plugin for Grafana!

Our plugin provides a powerful UI for monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing of your Elastic Stack components - Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana.

Key features

  1. Multi-cluster support – monitor and manage multiple Elasticsearch clusters from a single application.
  2. Comprehensive dashboards providing monitoring and analytics for:
    • Elastic Stack overview
    • Elasticsearch hosts performance and health
    • Elasticsearch Indices / index patterns usage and metrics
    • Elasticsearch shards distribution and allocation
    • Elasticsearch ingest pipelines activity and throughput
    • Elasticsearch tasks progress and status
    • Elasticsearch machine learning jobs performance and status
    • Logstash instances performance and health
    • Logstash pipelines throughput and errors
  3. Helm versions
    • Currently, there is no Helm charts for the versions 2+
    • The Helm charts for the previews versions can be found in our Helm repository

Documentation

The project documentation is available on our wiki.

Getting started

  1. Regular (OnPrem) installation:
    The OnPrem version includes only the application plugin. You will need to install and define Logstash separately for data shipment. The complete installation guid can be found in our OnPrem installation instructions.
  2. The user guid for the adding new cluster can be found in the OnPrem Add new cluster instructions.

Requirements

  • Grafana: 10.1.0+
  • Logstash: 8.1+
  • Elasticsearch monitored cluster: 8+ (Elasticsearch 7X - partial support)
  • Elasticsearch monitoring cluster: 8.7+
