Starting in version 7.16, this experimental functionality has been removed. You
should use the journald input in Filebeat instead.
Monitor Journalbeat
editMonitor Journalbeat
editYou can use the Elastic Stack monitoring features to gain insight into the health of Journalbeat instances running in your environment.
To monitor Journalbeat, make sure monitoring is enabled on your Elasticsearch cluster, then configure the method used to collect Journalbeat metrics. You can use one of following methods:
- Internal collection - Internal collectors send monitoring data directly to your monitoring cluster.
- Metricbeat collection - Metricbeat collects monitoring data from your Journalbeat instance and sends it directly to your monitoring cluster.
- Legacy collection (deprecated) - Legacy collectors send monitoring data to your production cluster.
