Step 4: Set up Security

edit

Secure your installation by following the Secure Heartbeat documentation.

Important considerations

edit
  • Make sure you’re using the same major versions of Heartbeat and Kibana.
  • Index patterns tell Kibana which Elasticsearch indices you want to explore. The Uptime app requires a heartbeat-7* index pattern. If you have configured a different index pattern, you can use index aliases to ensure data is recognized by the Uptime app.

After you install and configure Heartbeat, the Uptime app is automatically populated with the Heartbeat monitors.
