Some time ago we did a Kibana dashboard for JMX monitoring in Alfresco via Logstash. Today I'll briefly let some notes for a similar configuration but with other tool of the Elastic Stack, Metricbeat, using a jolokia plugin for HTTP - JMX bridge. The main difference is that in the previous example, we had a logstash process for getting JMX information in a Tomcat node, and now we have a lighter agent, Metricbeat, which is ideally better suited for this purpose. Besides the Metricbeat client,......

In last Alfresco Devcon, I presented some basic configuration for Alfresco monitoring with Elastic stack (ELK). A very nice automated setup for testing this configuration in ELK 6.1 is via the docker compose setup given in this github project: $ git clone https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk $ cd docker-elk This is an opportunity of checking Elastic Stack new features in 6.1 version, for example the new Kibana homepage, some UI accesibility new features, the dashboard full screen mode,......

In the previous posts I talked about ELK stack for monitoring Alfresco. But another possibility for loading metrics or logs information, extracted by logstash, is a SOLR index server (instead of Elastic Search), which is part of Alfresco architecture by default, and in principle, it would seem more natural for indexing our Alfresco logs and metrics. Besides, there exists some ports for Kibana in SOLR, such Banana or Silk, that may be deployed in our SOLR dedicated instance. Basically, you......

Some weeks ago I wrote a post about how to set up a basic Kibana dashboard representing System Performance and Active Sessions in Alfresco Enterprise via JMX metrics from a logstash JMX input. As you probably know, no such Alfresco JMX objects are available in Alfresco Community, such as active sessions (only the java and catalina objects are available). Anyway, it is possible to obtain a similar dashboard using the relevant information from a webscript, for example, the JSON-based webscripts......

Some days ago I wrote a post about how to set up a basic Kibana dashboard in Alfresco Enterprise with JMX metrics, from a logstash JMX input. Today I'm gonna add some simple configuration for creating a dashboard for Alfresco logs. The architecture for ELK is the same of the previous post, with logstash running in your Alfresco instance and a dedicated Elastic Search and Kibana server....

This weekend I read in Elastic blog that Mr. Robot uses Kibana for monitoring the Dark Army, so I decided to write a post about a recent monitoring project for representing some basic (but interesting) Alfresco JMX metrics in a clustered environment, in which I was involved last week. As you probably know, Kibana is a useful tool of the ELK stack, composed by Elastic Search as indexing backend, Logstash for data extraction, and the cited Kibana for graphic representation of the extracted......
