The {kib} {monitor-features} serve two separate purposes:
|
|
|
|
. To visualize monitoring data from across the {stack}. You can view health and
|
|
performance data for {es}, {ls}, and Beats in real time, as well as analyze past
|
|
performance.
|
|
. To monitor {kib} itself and route that data to the monitoring cluster.
|
|
|
|
If you enable monitoring across the {stack}, each {es} node, {ls} node, {kib}
|
|
instance, and Beat is considered unique based on its persistent
|
|
UUID, which is written to the <<settings,`path.data`>> directory when the node
|
|
or instance starts.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Watcher must be enabled to view cluster alerts. If you have a Basic
|
|
license, Top Cluster Alerts are not displayed.
