Custom Alert for services Elasticsearch and Cassandra

[andra_nosa]

Hi Guys,

Can Dynatrace open an alert for Elasticsearch if the service is down?

Or there is a configuration on Dynatrace, something like custom event API or a log monitoring?

Because previously we had issues with Elasticsearch, services were down, and there was no event alert on CMC, so I had to open the server and check that services.

Yes Dyantrace send critical problem alert if elastic search services are down. I recommend you raise a support ticket to understand why the alerts are not getting triggered to you for this situation.

Hi @techean ,

Can we create custom alert for service elasticsearch?

So we know if the service is down

Yes, it depend if you are using a High premium availability multi cluster managed node. Or simply rely on 3rd party tools or scripts to trigger SMTP or webhook alerts by cron scheduler on server.

Hi @techean ,

We follow the documentation from here , how to create for new schema?

Because on Dynatrace API v2 Settings - Schemas there is just GET on there

Here this documentation doesn't talk about elastic search service alerts. Check the elastic search part for Premium HA for multi-data centers | Dynatrace Docs, the support for elastic search is covered by Dynatrace.
