Setting up heart beat for Servers and Applications (contd)
- Consider the below image
- we need to configure the connection between heart beat and elastic cloud
- Refer Here for official docs of elastic stack to setup heart beat
- Change the heartbeat.yml as discussed in the class and test the config and output as shown below
- Now perform the setup and enable, start the heart beat
/usr/share/heartbeat/bin/heartbeat setup -e
sudo service heartbeat-elastic enable
sudo service heartbeat-elastic start
sudo service heartbeat-elastic status
* Now login into kibana endpoint
* Configure alerts (alerts to email is not working and will be fixed in next sesssion)
* The uptime monitor aggregates all the heart beat information into one dashboard
Setting up Metric beat to get server metrics into elastic cloud
- Lets use the same servers for metric beat i.e. apache server and mysql server
- Metric beat needs to be installed on the servers where the applications are executing
- Refer Here for the official docs
- Installing on ubuntu
wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-8.x.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install metricbeat -y
- We have executed the setup
