While working on testing out a new deployment of Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE), which is an orchestration platform created by Elasticsearch for hosting containerized Elastic clusters, my team and I realized that while there are prometheus exporters available for Elasticsearch, there were no solutions for monitoring the ECE itself.
With any deployment of OpenBSD, it is always advisable to have some sort of monitoring enabled. In the past, I have used zabbix as the monitoring solution for both public findelabs servers, as well as my personal OpenBSD servers. I was going to write an article about the installation and configuration of the web frontend and the postures backend, but I kept putting it off as the configuration was rather clunky. Last week, I ended up moving over to a Grafana dashboard with prometheus as the monitoring system.
