|
|
== Specify general settings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can specify settings in the +{beatname_lc}.yml+ config file to control the
|
||
|
|
general behavior of {beatname_uc}. This includes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <<configuration-global-options,Global options>> that control things like
|
||
|
|
the maximum random delay to apply to the startup of a metricset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* <<configuration-general,General options>> that are supported by all Elastic
|
||
|
|
Beats.

|
=== Global Metricbeat configuration options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These options are in the `metricbeat` namespace.

==== `metricbeat.max_start_delay`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum random delay to apply to the startup of a metricset. Random delays
|
||
|
|
ranging from [0, _max_start_delay_) are applied to reduce the thundering herd
|
||
|
|
effect that can occur if a fleet of machines running Metricbeat are restarted at
|
||
|
|
the same time. Specifying a value of 0 disables the startup delay. The default
|
||
|
|
is 10s.
