# Elasticsearch monitoring with Netdata Monitors [Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch) performance and health metrics. It produces: 1. **Search performance** charts: - Number of queries, fetches - Time spent on queries, fetches - Query and fetch latency 2. **Indexing performance** charts: - Number of documents indexed, index refreshes, flushes - Time spent on indexing, refreshing, flushing - Indexing and flushing latency 3. **Memory usage and garbage collection** charts: - JVM heap currently in use, committed - Count of garbage collections - Time spent on garbage collections 4. **Host metrics** charts: - Available file descriptors in percent - Opened HTTP connections - Cluster communication transport metrics 5. **Queues and rejections** charts: - Number of queued/rejected threads in thread pool 6. **Fielddata cache** charts: - Fielddata cache size - Fielddata evictions and circuit breaker tripped count 7. **Cluster health API** charts: - Cluster status - Nodes and tasks statistics - Shards statistics 8. **Cluster stats API** charts: - Nodes statistics - Query cache statistics - Docs statistics - Store statistics - Indices and shards statistics 9. **Indices** charts (per index statistics, disabled by default): - Docs count - Store size - Num of replicas - Health status ## Configuration Edit the `python.d/elasticsearch.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`. ```bash cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different sudo ./edit-config python.d/elasticsearch.conf ``` Sample: ```yaml local: host : 'ipaddress' # Elasticsearch server ip address or hostname. port : 'port' # Port on which elasticsearch listens. node_status : yes/no # Get metrics from "/_nodes/_local/stats". Enabled by default. cluster_health : yes/no # Get metrics from "/_cluster/health". Enabled by default. cluster_stats : yes/no # Get metrics from "'/_cluster/stats". Enabled by default. indices_stats : yes/no # Get metrics from "/_cat/indices". Disabled by default. ``` If no configuration is given, module will try to connect to `http://127.0.0.1:9200`. --- [](<>)
