Feature

Use scenario

Configure a custom alert policy

To ensure the stability of your Logstash cluster, we recommend that you configure monitoring and alerting for the cluster. This way, the system can monitor items in real time, such as cluster status and disk usage. We recommend that you check notifications that are sent to you through text messages and take appropriate measures at the earliest opportunity.

You can configure the following metrics for a Logstash cluster in CloudMonitor.

  • Node Disk Usage

  • Node Heap Memory Usage

  • CPU Utilization of Logstash Instance Node

  • Node 1m Load

Enable the X-Pack Monitoring feature

If you want to use the Kibana service to monitor your Logstash cluster, you can enable the X-Pack Monitoring feature for the Logstash cluster and associate the Logstash cluster with an Elasticsearch cluster. This way, you can view the monitoring data of the Logstash cluster in the Kibana console of the Elasticsearch cluster.
