Application Real-Time Monitoring Service:Add and use an Elasticsearch data source by using the public IP address of an Elasticsearch cluster

Step 1: Add the IP address of a Grafana workspace to the whitelist of the Elasticsearch cluster

In the Elasticsearch console, add the IP address of a Grafana workspace to the whitelist.

1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Elasticsearch Clusters.
3. Navigate to the desired cluster.
   1. In the top navigation bar, select the resource group to which the cluster belongs and the region where the cluster resides.
   2. On the Elasticsearch Clusters page, find the cluster and click its ID.

4. In the left-side navigation pane of the page that appears, choose Configuration and Management > Security.

5. In the Network Settings section, click Modify on the right side of Public IP Address Whitelist.

   Note

   Before you modify the Public IP Address Whitelist parameter, make sure that Public Network Address is turned on. By default, the switch is turned off.

   1. In the Modify Public IP Address Whitelist panel, click Configure on the right side of the default whitelist.

   2. In the Modify IP Address Whitelist dialog box, enter the IP address of a Grafana workspace in the IP Addresses in Whitelist text box.

      Note

      You can obtain the IP address of the Grafana workspace on the Workspace Information page in the Managed Service for Grafana console. For more information, see View or modify workspace information.

   3. Click OK.

Step 2: Add the data source to Managed Service for Grafana

1. Log on to the ARMS console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Managed Service for Grafana > Workspace Management.

2. On the Workspace Management page, find the workspace that you want to manage and click the URL in the URL column to go to Grafana.

   Note

   You can log on to Grafana with the administrator account of Grafana and the password that you configured when you created the workspace. You can also click Sign in with Alibaba Cloud to log on to Grafana with the current Alibaba Cloud account.

3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data sources.

4. On the Data sources tab, click Add data source.

5. Enter Elasticsearch in the search box, and then click Elasticsearch.

6. On the Settings page, set the following parameters.

   Section	Parameter	Description	Example
   Name		The name of the data source. The name can be user-defined.	Elasticsearch data source
   HTTP	URL	The public IP address of the Elasticsearch cluster. Format: http://{Elasticsearch address}:9200. Note You can obtain the public IP address of the Elasticsearch cluster on the Basic Information page in the Elasticsearch console. To use the HTTPS protocol, you must enable HTTPS in the Elasticsearch console. For more information, see View the basic information of a cluster.	http://es-cn-xxxxxxxxx.public.elasticsearch.aliyuncs.com:9200
   Auth	Basic auth	Turn on Basic auth and specify the parameters in the Basic Auth Details section.	None
   Basic Auth Details	User	Enter the username of the Elasticsearch cluster.	elastic
   	Password	Enter the password of the Elasticsearch cluster. Note If you forget the password of the Elasticsearch cluster, you can reset it. Log on to the Elasticsearch console. In the left-side navigation pane of the cluster details page, choose Configuration and Management > Security.	None
   Elasticsearch details	Index name	Enter the name of the index created for the Elasticsearch cluster. Note If you have not created an index for the Elasticsearch cluster, you can temporarily use the self-monitoring index of Elasticsearch to check whether Managed Service for Grafana can access the cluster. The self-monitoring index of Elasticsearch is named .monitoring-es-7-2022.01.11. Replace "2022.01.11" in the name with a date within the last two days. Otherwise, data may not be synchronized. Make sure that the date is later than the date when the Elasticsearch cluster is created. For more information, see Grafana documentation.	.monitoring-es-7-2022.01.11
   	Time field name	Enter the timestamp in the index. Note If you set the Index name parameter to the self-monitoring index of Elasticsearch, set the value to timestamp.	timestamp
   	Version	Enter the version of the Elasticsearch cluster. Note To obtain the version of the Elasticsearch cluster, go to the Basic Information page of the Elasticsearch console.	7.10+

7. Click Save & test.

   If the Index OK. Time field name OK. message is returned, the Elasticsearch data source is added to Managed Service for Grafana. For more information, see Grafana documentation.

Step 3: Create a dashboard panel

After you add the Elasticsearch data source, you can create a dashboard panel.

1. In the left-side navigation pane of the Grafana console, choose > + New dashboard.

2. On the New dashboard page, click Add new panel.

3. On the Query tab of the Edit Panel page, select the Elasticsearch data source and configure metrics.

   Assume that you want to configure a panel to browse the log list and details, you can set the Metric parameter to Logs and select Logs from the Visualizations drop-down list in the upper-right corner.

4. In the right-side pane, specify the name, type, and graph styles of the monitoring chart.

5. Click Apply.

   The dashboard panel is created.

6. In the upper-right corner, click the icon. Then, specify the name of the dashboard and the directory in which the dashboard resides.

7. Click Save.

   The dashboard is created.

View monitoring data

1. In the left-side navigation pane of the Grafana console, choose > Browse.

2. On the Browse tab, find the folder in which the dashboard is stored and click the dashboard.

   View all monitoring charts on the dashboard.
