Collect-System-Metrics

It is a project for collecting system matrics by using Topbeat. Purpose of this project is to collect and transfer system metrics ( CPU usage, Memory usage and Disk usage ) in real-time.

For This I am using Topbeats,Elasticsearch,Kibana Dashboard.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE :

1)Install Elasticsearch,Topbeat and Kibana.

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_installation.html

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/topbeat/current/topbeat-installation.html

https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana

####2)Start Elastic search Open Terminal and go to Elasticsearch Directory and run elasticsearch

./bin/elasticsearch

Note the publish address in http row. Genrally it is 127.0.0.1:9200 (localhost:9200).

we can check elasticsearch by hitting publish address in browser.

####3)Configure and start Topbeat

Configuration file of Topbeat is topbeat.yml Check the host in topbeat.yml. It must be same as publish address of Elasticsearch.

####4)Start Kibana

Go to the Kibana Directory on Terminal and hit ./bin/kibana

Note the ip at which kibana is running genrally it id http://0.0.0.0:5601

####5)Load Beats dashboard Open Terminal and navigate to beat-dashboards To load the dashboards, execute the script pointing to the Elasticsearch HTTP URL:

# Unix
./load.sh -url "http://localhost:9200"

# Windows
.\load.ps1 -url "http://localhost:9200"`

If you want to use HTTP authentication for Elasticsearch, you can specify the credentials as a second parameter:

 `# Unix
./load.sh -url "http://localhost:9200" -user "admin:secret"

# Windows
.\load.ps1 -url "http://localhost:9200" -user "admin:secret"`

Where "http://localhost:9200" is publish address of elasticsearch. If it is different then replace it with appropriate address.

####6)Go To Kibana Dashboard Go to the ip address of kibana server (http://0.0.0.0:5601)

Now go to:

Dashboard=>load saved dashboard=>Topbeat Dashboard

Now All the server Metrics will visualize in your browser.
