Product overview
Elasticsearch is a search engine based on Lucene. It provides a distributed, multi-tenant capable full-text search engine with HTTP web interface and schema-free JSON documents.
PATROL for Elasticsearch is a monitoring product that enables you to monitor the performance metrics of the configured Elasticsearch host. The KM monitors the performance metrics of the Elasticsearch Cluster, Nodes, JVM, Indices, and Shards. It provides ample metrics for each of these entities to fulfill all your monitoring requirements. For a list of monitor types and attributes, see Monitor-types-and-attributes.
Elasticsearch KM facilitates filtering of indices by including or excluding them (based on name) from monitoring. It also provides failover functionality and assures high availability of performance metrics.
For information about how to configure the KM, see Configuring Monitor Types in the Central Monitoring Administration Console.
