Sample Kibana dashboards

[ddrozdov]

It would be very useful if you could provide some Kibana templates for dockerbeat.
Like Elastic does for topbeat: https://github.com/elastic/beats-dashboards

That is not really official, but you can find dashboard for beta 2 here : https://github.com/Ingensi/beats-dashboards/tree/dockerbeat

I just update the repo with my current local version. Blkio visualizations are missing..

[ddrozdov]

That's great! Thank you.

Note, all occurences of dockerbeat must be changed to dockbeat

[luckydonald]

Basically:

# get it
git clone https://github.com/Ingensi/beats-dashboards.git
# go into folder
cd beats-dashboards/
# switch to right branch
git checkout dockerbeat
# or the exact commit: 
#git checkout f7a1e93eb387e431fcdf810e49a081d4a84b585d
# replace dockerbeat with dockbeat
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/dockerbeat/dockbeat/g' {} +
# load it into the server
./load.sh -url 'http://elastic:9200/'

I have some trouble loading the dashboards.

I get the following errors in Kibana
12 Saved "field" parameter is now invalid. Please select a new field.
14 Visualize: "field" is a required parameter

Are there more tweaks I need to do before I can use the dashboards.

I realized that there should be "net......." fileds in the blank fields.

I do not get this statistics:

Possibly due to that I use --net=host

I tried to spinn up a container without --net=host making the container run in it's own network.
This did not give any more Fields.

I tried to add metaFields (net.rxBytes_ps, net.txBytes_ps and so on) in Kibana's advanced settings but I was still not allowed to use these fields in the visualizations.
I seems like there must be some events including the field before it is allowed to use them in visualizations.

Any ideas how to generate the net fileds?

The docker module in metricbeat (which was contributed by dockbeat) contains also dashboards.

[luckydonald]

@ruflin: so do I stilll need to make this process outlined in the second post?

[ruflin]

@luckydonald Not sure I can follow your question?

[luckydonald]

@ruflin What do I have to to now, to get dashboards?

[ruflin]

Are you running dockbeat or metricbeat?

[luckydonald]

Wait... There are now two to choose from?
That's probably what confused me.

I skipped over the part with the Metricbeat Docker module, you were talking about, sorry.

I currently have neither running, the last time I did, there were some memory issues (#139).
Has anyone compared them, and got a glimpse if/how they differ?

[ruflin]

Dockbeat was converted to a module for metricbeat and contributed. So they have the exact same foundation. Recently most changes/fixes went into the docker module in metricbeat.
