In the previous blog, we mainly discussed Filebeat and Metricbeat along with exploring the system module. In this blog, we will see the usage of heartbeat and how to monitor the services using heartbeat.
Heartbeat should not be installed on each server you monitor, it should be installed on some separate servers from which you can monitor all url’s/services. For example, we have one server deployed at x.x.x.x:8000 at some server in AWS in the north region, then we can install heartbeat in our four servers in each region(north, south, east, west) of AWS and can monitor this server from all the servers to check whether services are UP from all India.
