Elastic Search

Causely provides native integration with Elastic Search.

Step 1: Create an API Key​

Create an API Key for your ElasticSearch cluster.

Step 2: Create a Kubernetes Secret for the API Key​

After creating the API Key create a Kubernetes Secret:

kubectl create secret generic --namespace causely elastic-credentials \
  --from-literal=api_key="..." \
  --from-literal=url='https://....eastus2.azure.elastic-cloud.com'

Step 3: Update Causely Configuration​

Once the Secret is created, update the Causely configuration to enable scraping for the new cluster. Below is an example configuration:

scrapers:
  elasticsearch:
    enabled: true
    projects:
      - secretName: elastic-credentials
        namespace: causely

Alternative: Enable Credentials Autodiscovery​

Causely also supports credentials autodiscovery. This feature allows you to add new scraping targets without updating the Causely configuration. Simply label the Kubernetes Secret to enable autodiscovery for the corresponding scraper.

Example: Labeling Secrets for Autodiscovery​

kubectl --namespace causely label elastic-credentials "causely.ai/scraper=ElasticSearch"

With these steps, you can seamlessly integrate Causely with Elastic Search and configure it to monitor your desired resources.
