# Etcd module
This module targets Etcd V2 and V3.
When using V2, metrics are collected using [Etcd v2 API](https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/v2/api.md). When using V3, metrics are retrieved from the `/metrics` endpoint as intended for [Etcd v3](https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/metrics.md)
When using V3, metricsest are bundled into `metrics` When using V2, metricsets available are `leader`, `self` and `store`.

## Compatibility

The etcd module is tested with etcd 3.2 and 3.3.

## Example configuration

The Etcd module supports the standard configuration options that are described in [Modules](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/configuration-metricbeat). Here is an example configuration:
```yaml
metricbeat.modules:
- module: etcd
  metricsets: ["leader", "self", "store"]
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost:2379"]
```

This module supports TLS connections when using `ssl` config field, as described in [SSL](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/configuration-ssl). It also supports the options described in [Standard HTTP config options](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/beats/metricbeat/configuration-metricbeat#module-http-config-options).
