Settings for legacy internal collectionedit
Deprecated in 7.2.0.
These settings are deprecated and will be removed in version 8.0.0. Instead of sending monitoring data to your production cluster it’s recommended that you use the configuration described under Internal collection to route monitoring data directly to your monitoring cluster.
xpack.monitoring.enabled
[7.2]
Deprecated in 7.2.
edit
The enabled
config is a boolean setting to enable or disable X-Pack monitoring.
If set to true
, monitoring is enabled.
The default value is false
.
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch
[7.2]
Deprecated in 7.2.
edit
The Elasticsearch instances that you want to ship your APM Server metrics to. This configuration option contains the following fields:
bulk_max_size
edit
The maximum number of metrics to bulk in a single Elasticsearch bulk API index request.
The default is 50
. For more information, see Elasticsearch.
backoff.init
edit
The number of seconds to wait before trying to reconnect to Elasticsearch after
a network error. After waiting backoff.init
seconds, APM Server tries to
reconnect. If the attempt fails, the backoff timer is increased exponentially up
to backoff.max
. After a successful connection, the backoff timer is reset. The
default is 1s.
backoff.max
edit
The maximum number of seconds to wait before attempting to connect to Elasticsearch after a network error. The default is 60s.
compression_level
edit
The gzip compression level. Setting this value to 0
disables compression. The
compression level must be in the range of 1
(best speed) to 9
(best
compression). The default value is 0
. Increasing the compression level
reduces the network usage but increases the CPU usage.
headers
edit
Custom HTTP headers to add to each request. For more information, see Elasticsearch.
hosts
edit
The list of Elasticsearch nodes to connect to. Monitoring metrics are distributed to these nodes in round-robin order. For more information, see Elasticsearch.
max_retries
edit
The number of times to retry sending the monitoring metrics after a failure.
After the specified number of retries, the metrics are typically dropped. The
default value is 3
. For more information, see Elasticsearch.
parameters
edit
Dictionary of HTTP parameters to pass within the url with index operations.
password
edit
The password that APM Server uses to authenticate with the Elasticsearch instances for shipping monitoring data.
metrics.period
edit
The time interval (in seconds) when metrics are sent to the Elasticsearch cluster. A new snapshot of APM Server metrics is generated and scheduled for publishing each period. The default value is 10 * time.Second.
state.period
edit
The time interval (in seconds) when state information are sent to the Elasticsearch cluster. A new snapshot of APM Server state is generated and scheduled for publishing each period. The default value is 60 * time.Second.
protocol
edit
The name of the protocol to use when connecting to the Elasticsearch cluster. The options
are: http
or https
. The default is http
. If you specify a URL for hosts
,
however, the value of protocol is overridden by the scheme you specify in the URL.
proxy_url
edit
The URL of the proxy to use when connecting to the Elasticsearch cluster. For more information, see Elasticsearch.
timeout
edit
The HTTP request timeout in seconds for the Elasticsearch request. The default is 90
.
ssl
edit
Configuration options for Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) parameters like the certificate authority (CA) to use for HTTPS-based
connections. If the ssl
section is missing, the host CAs are used for
HTTPS connections to Elasticsearch. For more information, see SSL output settings.
username
edit
The user ID that APM Server uses to authenticate with the Elasticsearch instances for shipping monitoring data.
