Elastic Agent is a single, unified way to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to a host. It can also protect hosts from security threats, query data from operating systems, forward data from remote services or hardware, and more. Refer to the documentation for a detailed comparison of Beats and Elastic Agent.
The logstash module collects metrics about Logstash.
The logstash module works with Logstash 7.3.0 and later.
The logstash module can be used to collect metrics shown in our Stack Monitoring UI in Kibana. To enable this usage, set xpack.enabled: true and remove any metricsets from the module’s configuration. Alternatively, run metricbeat modules disable logstash and metricbeat modules enable logstash-xpack.
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.
The Logstash module supports the standard configuration options that are described in Modules. Here is an example configuration:
metricbeat.modules:
- module: logstash
metricsets: ["node", "node_stats"]
enabled: true
period: 10s
hosts: ["localhost:9600"]
This module supports TLS connections when using ssl config field, as described in SSL. It also supports the options described in Standard HTTP config options.
The following metricsets are available:
