{monitoring} in {kib} serves two separate purposes:
|
|
|
|
. To visualize monitoring data from across the Elastic Stack. You can view
|
|
health and performance data for {es}, Logstash, and Beats in real time, as well
|
|
as analyze past performance. For more information, see {xpack-ref}/xpack-monitoring.html[Monitoring the Elastic Stack].
|
|
|
|
. To monitor {kib} itself and route that data to the monitoring cluster.
|
|
|
|
If you enable {monitoring} across the Elastic Stack, a monitoring agent runs on
|
|
each {es} node, Logstash node, {kib} instance, and Beat to collect and index
|
|
metrics. Each node and instance is considered unique based on its persistent
|
|
UUID, which is written to the <<settings,`path.data`>> directory when the node
|
|
or instance starts.
