WARNING: Version 6.2 of Elasticsearch has passed its EOL date.
This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be removed. If you are running this version, we strongly advise you to upgrade. For the latest information, see the current release documentation.
When you configure
an exporter in elasticsearch.yml
, the default local
exporter is disabled.
The http
exporter uses the low-level Elasticsearch REST Client. This allows
the http
exporter to send its data to any Elasticsearch cluster it can access
through the network.
The http
exporter supports a number of settings that control how it
communicates over HTTP to remote clusters. In most cases, it is not
necessary to explicitly configure these settings. For detailed
descriptions, see Monitoring Settings.
