Visualizing monitoring data

ECE ECK Elastic Cloud Hosted Self Managed

From within the Stack Monitoring section of Kibana, you can view health and performance data for Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Beats in real time, as well as analyze past performance.

Before you can see this data inside of Kibana, you need to configure stack monitoring and, for Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes and self-managed deployments, configure Kibana to retrieve and display monitoring data.

Review the following topics to learn more about the metrics and visualizations available in the Stack Monitoring area:

• Elasticsearch metrics
• Kibana metrics
• Beats metrics
• Logstash metrics

From the Stack Monitoring section, you can also configure Kibana alerts for stack monitoring metrics.

If you're having trouble accessing your monitoring data within the Stack Monitoring section, then refer to Troubleshooting.

If you enable monitoring across the Elastic Stack, each monitored component is considered unique based on its persistent UUID, which is written to the path.data directory when the node or instance starts.
