The Metrics app enables you to monitor your infrastructure metrics and identify problems in real time.
|
|
You start with a visual summary of your infrastructure where you can view basic metrics for common servers, containers, and services.
|
|
Then you can drill down to view more detailed metrics or other information for that component.
|
|
|
|
You can:
|
|
|
|
* View your infrastructure metrics by hosts, Kubernetes pods or Docker containers.
|
|
You can group and filter the data in various ways to help you identify the items that interest you.
|
|
|
|
* View current and historic values for metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic for each component.
|
|
The available metrics depend on the kind of component being inspected.
|
|
|
|
* Use *Metrics Explorer* to group and visualize multiple customizable metrics for one or more components in a graphical format.
|
|
You can optionally save these views and add them to {kibana-ref}/dashboard.html[dashboards].
|
|
|
|
* Seamlessly switch to view the corresponding logs, application traces or uptime information for a component.
|
|
|
|
To get started, you need to <<xpack-metrics-getting-started, start collecting metrics data from your infrastructure>>. Then you can <<infra-ui, use the Metrics application to inspect and analyze your data>>.
