== Elasticsearch module

beta[]

The Elasticsearch module contains a minimal set of metrics to enable monitoring of Elasticsearch across multiple versions. To monitor more Elasticsearch metrics, use our {monitoringdoc}/xpack-monitoring.html[monitoring] feature.

The default metricsets are `node` and `node_stats`.

=== Compability

The Elasticsearch module is tested with Elasticsearch 6.3 and is expected to
work with all 6.x versions.

=== Example configuration

The Elasticsearch module supports the standard configuration options that are described
in <<configuration-metricbeat>>. Here is an example configuration:

[source,yaml]
----
metricbeat.modules:
- module: elasticsearch
  metricsets:
    - node
    - node_stats
    #- index
    #- index_recovery
    #- index_summary
    #- shard
    #- ml_job
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["localhost:9200"]
  #username: "elastic"
  #password: "changeme"
  #ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

  # Set to false to fetch all entries
  #index_recovery.active_only: true
----

This module supports TLS connections when using `ssl` config field, as described in <<configuration-ssl>>.
It also supports the options described in <<module-http-config-options>>.
