Background

Created because it is necessary to obtain and monitor metrics with Zabbix while operating an Elasticsearch cluster.

It is realized by using Zabbix external script and Elasticsearch MonitorAPI.

Installation

  1. Set up "2" following user macros in your Elasticsearch nodes to Zabbix Host menus.
  • {$ESIP} = The Elasticsearch node IP or DNS name.
  • {$ESPORT} = The Elasticsearch node port number.
  1. Import the template to zabbix (elasticsearch_zab.xml) and link it to your Elasticsearch nodes.

Template name is "Elasticsearch Cluster"

  1. Copy the shell script (elastic.sh) to the Zabbix server in the externalscript directory. (e.g. /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts)

  2. Set a executable permission the script by using chown and chmod commands.

chown zabbix. elastic.sh
chmod 751 elastic.sh
  1. Enjoy your Elasticsearch and Zabbix life!
