Prometheus

Collect metrics from Prometheus servers with Elastic Agent.

What is an Elastic integration?

This integration is powered by Elastic Agent. Elastic Agent is a single, unified way to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to a host. It can also protect hosts from security threats, query data from operating systems, forward data from remote services or hardware, and more. Refer to our documentation for a detailed comparison between Beats and Elastic Agent.

Prefer to use Beats for this use case? See Filebeat modules for logs or Metricbeat modules for metrics.

This integration can collect metrics from:

Metrics

Prometheus Exporters (Collectors)

The Prometheus integration collector dataset connects to the Prometheus server and pulls metrics using either the /metrics endpoint or the Prometheus Federation API.

Scraping from a Prometheus exporter

To scrape metrics from a Prometheus exporter, configure the hosts setting to it. The path to retrieve the metrics from (/metrics by default) can be configured with Metrics Path.

Histograms and types

Use Types parameter (default: true) enables a different layout for metrics storage, leveraging Elasticsearch types, including histograms.

Rate Counters parameter (default: true) enables calculating a rate out of Prometheus counters. When enabled, Metricbeat stores the counter increment since the last collection. This metric should make some aggregations easier and with better performance. This parameter can only be enabled in combination with Use Types.

When Use Types and Rate Counters are enabled, metrics are stored like this:

Scraping all metrics from a Prometheus server

We recommend using the Remote Write dataset for this, and make Prometheus push metrics to Agent.

Filtering metrics

In order to filter out/in metrics one can make use of Metrics Filters Include, Metrics Filters Exclude settings:

Metrics Filters Include: ["node_filesystem_*"]
Metrics Filters Exclude: ["node_filesystem_device_*"]

The configuration above will include only metrics that match node_filesystem_* pattern and do not match node_filesystem_device_*.

To keep only specific metrics, anchor the start and the end of the regexp of each metric:

  • the caret ^ matches the beginning of a text or line,
  • the dollar sign $ matches the end of a text.
Metrics Filters Include: ["^node_network_net_dev_group$", "^node_network_up$"]

An example event for collector looks as following:

{
    "@timestamp": "2022-09-21T13:53:53.737Z",
    "ecs": {
        "version": "8.0.0"

Prometheus Server Remote-Write

The Prometheus remote_write can receive metrics from a Prometheus server that has configured remote_write setting accordingly, for instance:

remote_write:
  - url: "http://localhost:9201/write"

In Kuberneter additionally should be created a Service resource:

---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: elastic-agent
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    app: elastic-agent
spec:
  ports:
    - port: 9201
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 9201
  selector:
    app: elastic-agent
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP

This Service can be used as a remote_write.url in Prometheus configuration:

remote_write:
  - url: "http://elastic-agent.kube-system:9201/write"

TIP: In order to assure the health of the whole queue, the following configuration parameters should be considered:

  • max_shards: Sets the maximum number of parallelism with which Prometheus will try to send samples to Metricbeat. It is recommended that this setting should be equal to the number of cores of the machine where Metricbeat runs. Metricbeat can handle connections in parallel and hence setting max_shards to the number of parallelism that Metricbeat can actually achieve is the optimal queue configuration.
  • max_samples_per_send: Sets the number of samples to batch together for each send. Recommended values are between 100 (default) and 1000. Having a bigger batch can lead to improved throughput and in more efficient storage since Metricbeat groups metrics with the same labels into same event documents. However this will increase the memory usage of Metricbeat.
  • capacity: It is recommended to set capacity to 3-5 times max_samples_per_send. Capacity sets the number of samples that are queued in memory per shard, and hence capacity should be high enough so as to be able to cover max_samples_per_send.

TIP: To limit amount of samples that are sent by the Prometheus Server can be used write_relabel_configs configuration. It is a relabeling, that applies to samples before sending them to the remote endpoint. Example:

remote_write:
  - url: "http://localhost:9201/write"
    write_relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [job]
        regex: 'prometheus'
        action: keep

Metrics sent to the http endpoint will be put by default under the prometheus. prefix with their labels under prometheus.labels. A basic configuration would look like:

host: "localhost"
port: "9201"

Also consider using secure settings for the server, configuring the module with TLS/SSL as shown:

host: "localhost"
ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/server/cert.pem"
ssl.key: "/etc/pki/server/cert.key"
port: "9201"

and on Prometheus side:

remote_write:
  - url: "https://localhost:9201/write"
    tls_config:
        cert_file: "/etc/prometheus/my_key.pem"
        key_file: "/etc/prometheus/my_key.key"
        # Disable validation of the server certificate.
        #insecure_skip_verify: true

An example event for remote_write looks as following:

Histograms and types

use_types parameter (default: true) enables a different layout for metrics storage, leveraging Elasticsearch types, including histograms.

rate_counters parameter (default: true) enables calculating a rate out of Prometheus counters. When enabled, Metricbeat stores the counter increment since the last collection. This metric should make some aggregations easier and with better performance. This parameter can only be enabled in combination with use_types.

When use_types and rate_counters are enabled, metrics are stored like this:

{
    "prometheus": {
        "labels": {
            "instance": "172.27.0.2:9090",
            "job": "prometheus"
        },
        "prometheus_target_interval_length_seconds_count": {
            "counter": 1,
            "rate": 0
        },
        "prometheus_target_interval_length_seconds_sum": {
            "counter": 15.000401344,
            "rate": 0
        }
        "prometheus_tsdb_compaction_chunk_range_seconds_bucket": {
            "histogram": {
                "values": [50, 300, 1000, 4000, 16000],
                "counts": [10, 2, 34, 7]
            }
        }
    },
}

Types' patterns

Unlike collector metricset, remote_write receives metrics in raw format from the prometheus server. In this, the module has to internally use a heuristic in order to identify efficiently the type of each raw metric. For these purpose some name patterns are used in order to identify the type of each metric. The default patterns are the following:

. _total suffix: the metric is of Counter type . _sum suffix: the metric is of Counter type . _count suffix: the metric is of Counter type . _bucket suffix and le in labels: the metric is of Histogram type

Everything else is handled as a Gauge. In addition there is no special handling for Summaries so it is expected that Summary's quantiles are handled as Gauges and Summary's sum and count as Counters.

Users have the flexibility to add their own patterns using the following configuration:

types_patterns:
    counter_patterns: ["_my_counter_suffix"]
    histogram_patterns: ["_my_histogram_suffix"]

The configuration above will consider metrics with names that match _my_counter_suffix as Counters and those that match _my_histogram_suffix (and have le in their labels) as Histograms.

To match only specific metrics, anchor the start and the end of the regexp of each metric:

  • the caret ^ matches the beginning of a text or line,
  • the dollar sign $ matches the end of a text.
types_patterns:
    histogram_patterns: ["^my_histogram_metric$"]

Note that when using types_patterns, the provided patterns have higher priority than the default patterns. For instance if _histogram_total is a defined histogram pattern, then a metric like network_bytes_histogram_total will be handled as a histogram, even if it has the suffix _total which is a default pattern for counters.

Prometheus Queries (PromQL)

The Prometheus query dataset executes specific Prometheus queries against Promethes Query API.

Instant queries

The following configuration performs an instant query for up metric at a single point in time:

queries:
- name: 'up'
  path: '/api/v1/query'
  params:
    query: "up"

More complex PromQL expressions can also be used like the following one which calculates the per-second rate of HTTP requests as measured over the last 5 minutes.

queries:
- name: "rate_http_requests_total"
  path: "/api/v1/query"
  params:
    query: "rate(prometheus_http_requests_total[5m])"

Range queries

The following example evaluates the expression up over a 30-second range with a query resolution of 15 seconds:

queries:
- name: "up_master"
  path: "/api/v1/query_range"
  params:
    query: "up{node='master01'}"
    start: "2019-12-20T23:30:30.000Z"
    end: "2019-12-21T23:31:00.000Z"
    step: 15s

An example event for query looks as following:

    "agent": {
        "name": "kind-control-plane",

keyword
cloud.image.id
Image ID for the cloud instance.
keyword
cloud.instance.id
Instance ID of the host machine.
keyword
cloud.instance.name
Instance name of the host machine.
keyword
cloud.machine.type
Machine type of the host machine.
keyword
cloud.project.id

constant_keyword
ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
event.dataset
Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.
keyword
event.module
Event module.
constant_keyword
host.architecture
Operating system architecture.
keyword
host.containerized
If the host is a container.
boolean
host.domain
Name of the domain of which the host is a member. For example, on Windows this could be the host's Active Directory domain or NetBIOS domain name. For Linux this could be the domain of the host's LDAP provider.
keyword
host.hostname
Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine.
keyword
host.id
Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name.
keyword
host.ip
Host ip addresses.
ip
host.mac
Host mac addresses.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.
keyword

Multi-field of host.os.name.
text
host.os.platform
Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows).
keyword
host.os.version
Operating system version as a raw string.
keyword
host.type
Type of host. For Cloud providers this can be the machine type like t2.medium. If vm, this could be the container, for example, or other information meaningful in your environment.
keyword
prometheus.labels.*
Prometheus metric labels
object
prometheus.labels_fingerprint
Autogenerated ID representing the fingerprint of labels object and includes query name
keyword
prometheus.query.*
Prometheus value resulted from PromQL
object
gauge
service.address
Address where data about this service was collected from. This should be a URI, network address (ipv4:port or [ipv6]:port) or a resource path (sockets).
keyword
service.type
The type of the service data is collected from. The type can be used to group and correlate logs and metrics from one service type. Example: If logs or metrics are collected from Elasticsearch, service.type would be elasticsearch.
keyword

Dashboard

Prometheus integration is shipped including default overview dashboard. Default dashboard works only for remote_write datastream and collector darastream, if metrics are scraped from the Prometheus server metrics endpoint.
