This functionality is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a
future release. Elastic will take a best effort approach to fix any issues, but
experimental features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA
features.
Monitoring Journalbeat
editMonitoring Journalbeat
editYou can use the Elastic Stack monitoring features to gain insight into the health of Journalbeat agents 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 internal collection (deprecated) - Legacy internal collectors send monitoring data to your production cluster.
To learn about monitoring in general, see Monitoring the Elastic Stack.
