|
|
{beatname_uc} comes packaged with example Kibana dashboards, visualizations,
|
|
and searches for visualizing {beatname_uc} data in Kibana.
|
|
|
|
To load the dashboards, you can either enable dashboard loading in the
|
|
`setup.dashboards` section of the +{beatname_lc}.yml+ config file, or you can
|
|
run the `setup` command. Dashboard loading is disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
When dashboard loading is enabled, {beatname_uc} uses the Kibana API to load the
|
|
sample dashboards. Dashboard loading is only attempted when {beatname_uc} starts up.
|
|
If Kibana is not available at startup, {beatname_uc} will stop with an error.
|
|
|
|
To enable dashboard loading, add the following setting to the config file:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
setup.dashboards.enabled: true
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|

|
|
=== Configuration options
|
|
|
|
You can specify the following options in the `setup.dashboards` section of the
|
|
+{beatname_lc}.yml+ config file:
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.enabled`
|
|
|
|
If this option is set to true, {beatname_uc} loads the sample Kibana dashboards
|
|
from the local `kibana` directory in the home path of the {beatname_uc} installation.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When dashboard loading is enabled, {beatname_uc} overwrites any existing
|
|
dashboards that match the names of the dashboards you are loading. This happens
|
|
every time {beatname_uc} starts.
|
|
|
|
If no other options are set, the dashboard are loaded
|
|
from the local `kibana` directory in the home path of the {beatname_uc} installation.
|
|
To load dashboards from a different location, you can configure one of the
|
|
following options: <<directory-option,`setup.dashboards.directory`>>,
|
|
<<url-option,`setup.dashboards.url`>>, or
|
|
<<file-option,`setup.dashboards.file`>>.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[directory-option]]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.directory`
|
|
|
|
The directory that contains the dashboards to load. The default is the `kibana`
|
|
folder in the home path.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[url-option]]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.url`
|
|
|
|
The URL to use for downloading the dashboard archive. If this option
|
|
is set, {beatname_uc} downloads the dashboard archive from the specified URL
|
|
instead of using the local directory.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
[[file-option]]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.file`
|
|
|
|
The file archive (zip file) that contains the dashboards to load. If this option
|
|
is set, {beatname_uc} looks for a dashboard archive in the specified path
|
|
instead of using the local directory.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.beat`
|
|
|
|
In case the archive contains the dashboards for multiple Beats, this setting
|
|
lets you select the Beat for which you want to load dashboards. To load all the
|
|
dashboards in the archive, set this option to an empty string. The default is
|
|
+"{beatname_lc}"+.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.kibana_index`
|
|
|
|
The name of the Kibana index to use for setting the configuration. The default
|
|
is `".kibana"`
|
|
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.index`
|
|
|
|
The Elasticsearch index name. This setting overwrites the index name defined
|
|
in the dashboards and index pattern. Example: `"testbeat-*"`
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This setting only works for Kibana 6.0 and newer.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.always_kibana`
|
|
|
|
Force loading of dashboards using the Kibana API without querying Elasticsearch for the version
|
|
The default is `false`.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.retry.enabled`
|
|
|
|
If this option is set to true, and Kibana is not reachable at the time when dashboards are loaded,
|
|
{beatname_uc} will retry to reconnect to Kibana instead of exiting with an error. Disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.retry.interval`
|
|
|
|
Duration interval between Kibana connection retries. Defaults to 1 second.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== `setup.dashboards.retry.maximum`
|
|
|
|
Maximum number of retries before exiting with an error. Set to 0 for unlimited retrying.
|
|
Default is unlimited.
