Infrastructure monitoringedit
The Infrastructure app in Kibana enables you to visualize infrastructure metrics to help diagnose problematic spikes, identify high resource utilization, automatically discover and track pods, and unify your metrics with logs and APM data in Elasticsearch.
Using Elastic Agent integrations, you can ingest and analyze metrics from servers, Docker containers, Kubernetes orchestrations, explore and analyze application telemetry, and more.
To access the Infrastructure app from the main Kibana menu, go to Observability → Infrastructure. The Infrastructure app provides a few different views of your data.
Inventory |
Provides a metrics-driven view of your entire infrastructure grouped by the resources that you are monitoring. |
Metrics Explorer |
Enables you to create time-series visualizations based on aggregation of your metrics, chart them against related metrics, and break them down per the field of your choice. |
Hosts |
Provides a metrics-driven view of your infrastructure backed by an easy-to-use interface called Lens. |
By default, the Infrastructure app displays metrics from Elasticsearch indices that
match the metrics-* and metricbeat-* index patterns. To learn how to change
this behavior, refer to Configure settings.
To learn more about the metrics shown in the Infrastructure app, refer to the Metrics reference documentation.
