(notes -- work in progress)
Getting data for OpenSearch/ElasticSearch is a matter of:
- Identifying the data to be gathered
- Finding a way to surface and collect that data
- Send the data to the ElasticSearch/OpenSearch cluster
Elastic Products
The elastic suite of applications includes tools that are usable for both the Elastic tools and the open source alternatives (such as OpenSearch):
- Logstash
- Filebeat
- Metricbeat
Prometheus Exporters:
Prometheus implements a pull method vs the push method used by the Elastic products. Metricbeat serves as an interface between the two methods -- one of its modules can read prometheus format metrics -- either produced natively by applications or by specific exporter applications. A list of exporters from the prometheus website can be found at https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/
A general-purpose exporter is node_exporter -- it can export a large range of metrics across many areas of system operations.
