The integration offers a range of dashboards that provide comprehensive insights into Logstash nodes and pipelines, making it easier to identify and troubleshoot performance issues. Users can monitor events' processing times, worker utilization, and pipeline health, with alerts for anomalies highlighted for quick action. Furthermore, the integration simplifies the collection and transformation of data from Logstash monitoring APIs through Elastic Agents, offering detailed information on node and pipeline performance. Recent updates include new health report dashboards and the addition of Flow Stats for performance metrics, allowing users to diagnose and address potential problems effectively. The Elastic Agent integration, which is easy to configure and install, saves time by providing valuable data for optimizing Logstash's operation and maintenance.
