I have a 3 node cluster of ELK (all version 6), on 1st node i have Elasticsearch and Kibana, on 2nd i have Elasticsearch and Logstash and on 3rd i have only Elasticsearch which is a Ingest node.
I have 4 servers which sends me data via filebeat and metricbeat.
Now all are working fine, i even have X-Pack version 6 Now there is manual process of generating pdf of dashboards i tried that.
I want to automatically generate reports at certain time and email it to me.
I read about watchers and email configuration in elasticsearch.yml file and i did that ..
But i want it to be done automatically. And i am not trying skidler and phantomJs.
If anything i am missing, help me out Thank You.
Here is an example from the documentation on how to generate a report with Watcher:
PUT _xpack/watcher/watch/error_report
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule": {
"interval": "1h"
}
},
"actions" : {
"email_admin" : {
"email": {
"to": "'Recipient Name <recipient@example.com>'",
"subject": "Error Monitoring Report",
"attachments" : {
"error_report.pdf" : {
"reporting" : {
"url": "http://0.0.0.0:5601/api/reporting/generate/dashboard/Error-Monitoring?_g=(time:(from:now-1d%2Fd,mode:quick,to:now))",
"retries":6,
"interval":"1s",
"auth":{
"basic":{
"username":"elastic",
"password":"changeme"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Basically you just need an API call to get this done.
