We finally have a worthy partner for the long-standing (but recently improved!) Elasticsearch Monitoring Integration. If you see a spike in query latency or a node count drop in metrics, you’d naturally want to check the logs.
You may already be using a Generic Logs App to centralize your Elasticsearch logs, but there’s a better way now: the new Elasticsearch Logs Integration gives you out-of-the-box dashboards for all the important information:
- Errors breakdown
- Deprecations
- Master and clustering-related logs
- Start and stop
- Slowlog query breakdown by time, frequency, index, node, etc
Setup takes literally two clicks once you have Sematext Agent installed, thanks to Logs Discovery. Sematext Agent is already installed if you’re using our Elasticsearch Monitoring. Otherwise, you’ll need two copy-paste commands to install it.
Keen observers will notice that GC logs aren’t shipped to your Elasticsearch Logs App by default. You’d normally send those to a JVM Garbage Collection Logs App, and we hope you’ll enjoy both!
