Elasticsearch Exporter

CircleCI Go Report Card

Prometheus exporter for various metrics about Elasticsearch, written in Go.

Installation

For pre-built binaries please take a look at the releases. https://github.com/prometheus-community/elasticsearch_exporter/releases

Docker
docker pull quay.io/prometheuscommunity/elasticsearch-exporter:latest
docker run --rm -p 9114:9114 quay.io/prometheuscommunity/elasticsearch-exporter:latest

Example docker-compose.yml:

elasticsearch_exporter:
    image: quay.io/prometheuscommunity/elasticsearch-exporter:latest
    command:
     - '--es.uri=http://elasticsearch:9200'
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "127.0.0.1:9114:9114"
Kubernetes

You can find a helm chart in the prometheus-community charts repository at https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm install [RELEASE_NAME] prometheus-community/prometheus-elasticsearch-exporter

Configuration

NOTE: The exporter fetches information from an Elasticsearch cluster on every scrape, therefore having a too short scrape interval can impose load on ES master nodes, particularly if you run with --es.all and --es.indices. We suggest you measure how long fetching /_nodes/stats and /_all/_stats takes for your ES cluster to determine whether your scraping interval is too short. As a last resort, you can scrape this exporter using a dedicated job with its own scraping interval.

Below is the command line options summary:

elasticsearch_exporter --help
ArgumentIntroduced in VersionDescriptionDefault
collector.clustersettings1.6.0If true, query stats for cluster settings (As of v1.6.0, this flag has replaced "es.cluster_settings").false
es.uri1.0.2Address (host and port) of the Elasticsearch node we should connect to. This could be a local node (localhost:9200, for instance), or the address of a remote Elasticsearch server. When basic auth is needed, specify as: <proto>://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>. E.G., http://admin:pass@localhost:9200. Special characters in the user credentials need to be URL-encoded.http://localhost:9200

es.indices_mappings1.2.0If true, query stats for mappings of all indices of the cluster.false
es.aliases1.0.4rc1If true, include informational aliases metrics.true
es.shards1.0.3rc1If true, query stats for all indices in the cluster, including shard-level stats (implies es.indices=true).false
collector.snapshots1.0.4rc1If true, query stats for the cluster snapshots. (As of v1.7.0, this flag has replaced "es.snapshots").false

version1.0.2Show version info on stdout and exit.

Commandline parameters start with a single - for versions less than 1.1.0rc1. For versions greater than 1.1.0rc1, commandline parameters are specified with --.

The API key used to connect can be set with the ES_API_KEY environment variable.

Elasticsearch 7.x security privileges

Username and password can be passed either directly in the URI or through the ES_USERNAME and ES_PASSWORD environment variables. Specifying those two environment variables will override authentication passed in the URI (if any).

ES 7.x supports RBACs. The following security privileges are required for the elasticsearch_exporter.

Alerts & Recording Rules

We provide examples for Prometheus alerts and recording rules as well as an Grafana Dashboard and a Kubernetes Deployment.

The example dashboard needs the node_exporter installed. In order to select the nodes that belong to the Elasticsearch cluster, we rely on a label cluster. Depending on your setup, it can derived from the platform metadata:

For example on GCE

- source_labels: [__meta_gce_metadata_Cluster]
  separator: ;
  regex: (.*)
  target_label: cluster
  replacement: ${1}
  action: replace

Please refer to the Prometheus SD documentation to see which metadata labels can be used to create the cluster label.
