Prometheus exporter for various metrics about ElasticSearch, written in Go.
For pre-built binaries please take a look at the releases. https://github.com/justwatchcom/elasticsearch_exporter/releases
docker pull justwatch/elasticsearch_exporter:1.0.2
docker run --rm -p 9114:9114 justwatch/elasticsearch_exporter:1.0.2Example docker-compose.yml:
elasticsearch_exporter:
image: justwatch/elasticsearch_exporter:1.0.2
command:
- '-es.uri=http://elasticsearch:9200'
restart: always
ports:
- "127.0.0.1:9114:9114"You can find a helm chart in the stable charts repository at https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/elasticsearch-exporter.
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| Argument | Introduced in Version | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| es.uri | 1.0.2 | Address (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. |
http://localhost:9200 |
| es.all | 1.0.2 | If true, query stats for all nodes in the cluster, rather than just the node we connect to. | false |
| es.cluster_settings | 1.1.0rc1 | If true, query stats for cluster settings. | false |
| es.indices | 1.0.2 | If true, query stats for all indices in the cluster. | false |
| es.indices_settings | 1.0.4rc1 | If true, query settings stats for all indices in the cluster. | false |
| es.shards | 1.0.3rc1 | If true, query stats for all indices in the cluster, including shard-level stats (implies es.indices=true). |
false |
| es.snapshots | 1.0.4rc1 | If true, query stats for the cluster snapshots. | false |
| es.timeout | 1.0.2 | Timeout for trying to get stats from Elasticsearch. (ex: 20s) | 5s |
| es.ca | 1.0.2 | Path to PEM file that contains trusted Certificate Authorities for the Elasticsearch connection. | |
| es.client-private-key | 1.0.2 | Path to PEM file that contains the private key for client auth when connecting to Elasticsearch. | |
| es.client-cert | 1.0.2 | Path to PEM file that contains the corresponding cert for the private key to connect to Elasticsearch. | |
| es.clusterinfo.interval | 1.1.0rc1 | Cluster info update interval for the cluster label | 5m |
| es.ssl-skip-verify | 1.0.4rc1 | Skip SSL verification when connecting to Elasticsearch. | false |
| web.listen-address | 1.0.2 | Address to listen on for web interface and telemetry. | :9114 |
| web.telemetry-path | 1.0.2 | Path under which to expose metrics. | /metrics |
| version | 1.0.2 | Show 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 --. Also, all commandline parameters can be provided as environment variables. The environment variable name is derived from the parameter name
by replacing . and - with _ and upper-casing the parameter name.

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.
