editManaging APM Server, Kibana and Elasticsearch with ECK allows a smooth and secured integration between the stack components. The output configuration of the APM Server is setup automatically to establish a trust relationship with Elasticsearch. Specifying the Kibana reference allows ECK to automatically configure the Kibana endpoint.
-
To deploy an APM Server and connect it to the Elasticsearch cluster and Kibana instance you created in the quickstart, apply the following specification:
Starting with version 8.0.0 the following Kibana configuration is required to run APM Server
apiVersion: kibana.k8s.elastic.co/v1 kind: Kibana config: xpack.fleet.packages: - name: apm version: latest
By default elasticsearchRef
targets all nodes in your Elasticsearch cluster. If you want to direct traffic to specific nodes of your cluster, refer to Traffic Splitting for more information and examples.
-
Monitor APM Server deployment.
You can retrieve details about the APM Server instance:
kubectl get apmservers
NAME HEALTH NODES VERSION AGE apm-server-quickstart green 1 8.15.3 8m
And you can list all the Pods belonging to a given deployment:
kubectl get pods --selector='apm.k8s.elastic.co/name=apm-server-quickstart'
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE apm-server-quickstart-apm-server-69b447ddc5-fflc6 1/1 Running 0 2m50s
