The Dynatrace FastPack for Elasticsearch provides a plugin for Dynatrace AppMon which collects various metrics from an Elasticsearch Cluster and sends them to a Dynatrace instance. It also provides a System Profile and a sample Dashboard which visualizes some of the metrics.
Find further information in the dynaTrace community.
- Dynatrace Application Monitoring version: 6.2+
- Elasticsearch 1.3.9 or higher
Download the .dtp file from the release-area and install it on the Dynatrace Server
Configure the provided scheduled task for the Elasticsearch Monitor and define the hostname/port of the Elasticsearch REST interface. The default port number is 9200 unless it was changed in the Elasticsearch configuration.
If you want additional metrics like CPU usages, JVM memory and other host/process level metrics you can inject the Dynatrace Agent and use the provided Agent Mapping "Elasticsearch", then some of the process/host-level Dashlets in the Dashboard will show additional information.
The plugin also includes a system profile 'Elasticsearch' and a Dashboard 'Elasticsearch' with some sample Dashlets.
Create matching Eclipse project files
./gradlew eclipse
Run unit tests against all supported Elasticsearch versions
./gradlew check jacocoTestReport && ./checkElasticsearchVersions.sh
This uses the Elasticsearch integration test framework to run local tests of all the plugin functionality. It is highly recommended to run these whenever you do code-changes!
./gradlew -PdynaTraceVersion=1.0.0.<x> plugin
Note: Set the version higher every time you deploy to ensure the new version is loaded in the Dynatrace Server.
- The resulting .dtp file can be found in the directory
plugin/dist - Use the plugin-dialog in the Dynatrace Client to upload the plugin to the server.
- Note that a restart of the Server or Collector which is running the plugin might be required in some cases (e.g. when upgrading from a previous version of the plugin).
