Elastic Metrics 7.8.0 released
Blog post from Elastic
Elastic Metrics 7.8.0 introduces several enhancements aimed at improving cloud service monitoring and infrastructure management. This release features an improved integration with Google Cloud, allowing users to monitor any service using the Google Cloud operations suite via the stackdriver metricset, which collects metrics with the ListTimeSeries API. Additionally, the update introduces resource-centric threshold alerts for infrastructure monitoring, enabling users to set alerts based on specific resource attributes and create multiple thresholds for precise monitoring. The new preview charts aid in selecting suitable threshold values by providing visual feedback. Moreover, a specialized Linux module is introduced to focus on Linux-specific metrics without cluttering the general system module, including metricsets like pageinfo, ksm, and conntrack. Users can access the latest version of Elastic Metrics through Elasticsearch Service, Elastic Cloud, or by downloading the Elastic Stack.
