Monitoring {ls}

Use the {stack} {monitor-features} to gain insight into the health of {ls} instances running in your environment.

For an introduction to monitoring your Elastic stack, see {ref}/monitor-elasticsearch-cluster.html[Monitoring a cluster] in the {ref}[Elasticsearch Reference].

Configuring monitoring for {ls}

Make sure monitoring is enabled on your {es} cluster. Then configure one of these methods to collect {ls} metrics:

• {metricbeat} collection. Metricbeat collects monitoring data from your {ls} instance and sends it directly to your monitoring cluster. The benefit of Metricbeat collection is that the monitoring agent remains active even if the {ls} instance does not.

• Legacy collection (deprecated). Legacy collectors send monitoring data to your production cluster.
