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

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.all | 1.0.2 | If true, query stats for all nodes in the cluster, rather than just the node we connect to. | false |

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.
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.
| Setting | Privilege Required | Description |
|---|---|---|

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.
elasticsearch_exporter is maintained by the Prometheus Community.
elasticsearch_exporter was then maintained by the nice folks from JustWatch.
Then transferred this repository to the Prometheus Community in May 2021.
This package was originally created and maintained by Eric Richardson, who transferred this repository to us in January 2017.
