elasticsearch and oneagent in Infrastructure only mode

[l_nalesso]

Hi all,
Is it possible to enable elasticsearch monitoring if the oneagent is in infrastructure only mode?
I've made same search in the doc and in the community but i have not found the answer(need new glasses? 🙂 ).

Hello.

In general: In infra mode you will miss JVM metrics and service level, but general process metrics and tecnology specific metrics (with extension)you can get with infa-only mode.

Yes, it is possible, but you will miss instrumentation on EleasticSearch level.

If you have, for example, an instrumented Java application that calls ElasticSearch - you can see request count, failure rate, response time for OPAQUE service (not instrumented). Dynatrace can see when the code of your application executes a call to another service and when it came back.

You can see how it look in Dynatrace - with fully instrumented ElasticSearch on screenshots.

In my case, I call elastic with curl. So I can see this call and PurePath because ElasticSearch is instrumented - agent in Full-stack mode. I can see exception and e.t.c.

I wouldn't be able to see these CURL PurePaths without instrumentation.

In infra only mode you can additionally setup extension to get ElasticSerach metrics:

JVM metrics tab will not be avaliable in infra only mode. 

Metrics.

I hope this helps, have a good day!
