Elasticsearch

You can use the Elasticsearch plugin to monitor your cluster health and sharding within Elasticsearch. If you can not find this plugin in the /usr/lib/panopta-agent/plugins folder, then your version of the Agent is out of date and you should update it to gain access to this feature.

Agent Configuration

In order to use this plugin, you will have to ensure you can load the /_clusterhealth endpoint locally from your machine. Enter the IP address and port for the /_clusterhealth endpoint into your Agent Config file as shown below:

[elasticsearch]
hostname = 127.0.0.1
port = 1313
username = 
password = 

Note:The Username and Password fields are optional.

Control Panel Configuration

To add an ElasticSearch agent resource to your server, read Add FortiMonitor Agent checks. To use the ElasticSearch plugin, first select ElasticSearch from the monitoring catalog.

There are a number of available metrics to choose from.

Metric

Unit

Number of active primary shards

shards

Number of data nodes in cluster

nodes

Number of initializing shards

shards

Number of shards getting relocated

shards

Number of unassigned shards

shards

Total number of nodes in a cluster

nodes

Total number of shards

From the configuration screen, you can choose the frequency of the check, the alert schedule, set thresholds, and tag the check.

If you have any additional questions, please contact our support team.
