Enable precise event correlation with the Elasticsearch cluster device

Leverage BMC PATROL for Elasticsearch to associate events directly with the Elasticsearch cluster device instead of the PATROL Agents. This capability improves event correlation by aligning events with relevant device names.

Accurate event-to-device mapping within Elasticsearch clusters reduces false alarms, streamlines root cause identification, and significantly enhances monitoring efficiency. For more information, see Configuring the Elasticsearch monitor profile.

Security enhancements

BMC PATROL for Elasticsearch 1.0.19 patch contains the third-party software upgrade commons3-3.0.18.jar for security enhancements.

  • /ESK_TOP/removeNodeAfterNDiscCycle =number of retries
  • REMOVE_NODE_AFTER_N_DISC_CYCLE =number of retries

For more information, see Configuring the removal of unavailable nodes from monitoring.
