Configuring Monitoring

edit

By default, the monitoring agent collects data from all indices every 10 seconds and stores the monitoring data locally. You can configure Monitoring to:

Specify the indices you want to monitor.
Export data to a separate monitoring cluster.
Configure the indices used to store monitoring data.

Advanced monitoring settings enable you to control how frequently data is collected, configure timeouts, and set the retention period for locally-stored monitoring indices. You can also adjust how monitoring data is displayed. See Monitoring Settings for the complete list of settings you can configure.
