elasticsearch_indices_active_queries is not present

[garrington]

We've setup an environment to test out this exporter. One of the metrics we'd like to monitor doesn't seem to be present:

elasticsearch_indices_active_queries

Here is the config we're using:

/exporter-bin/elasticsearch_exporter/elasticsearch_exporter
--es.uri="${DOMAIN_ENDPOINT}"
--aws.region="us-east-1"
--log.level="${LOG_LEVEL}"
--es.all
--es.cluster_settings
--es.indices
--es.indices_mappings
--es.indices_settings
--es.shards
--es.snapshots
--es.timeout="45s"
--log.output="stdout" &

I also cannot find this metric referenced anywhere in code. Has this metric been deprecated?

[sysadmind]

It would appear the the README is wrong. The metric name is elasticsearch_search_active_queries. I think we need to fix this.

I can't find this metric, and I can't find elasticsearch_indices_index_current either. Do you know why

[lynBIT]

A new metrics.I can't find elasticsearch_indices_index_current,
the config we're using:
/exporter-bin/elasticsearch_exporter/elasticsearch_exporter
--es.uri="${DOMAIN_ENDPOINT}"
--es.all
--es.indices
--es.indices_settings
--es.shards
--es.snapshots
I find this metric referenced in code.

but I can't find it in prometheus

there is no metric named elasticsearch_indices_index_current and elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current
Please help me,thank you @sysadmind

I'm not sure why you don't see these. I just ran a test and I can see the elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current metric.

Run elasticsearch in a docker container:

docker run --rm -it -p 9200:9200 -e "xpack.security.enabled=false"  -e "discovery.type=single-node" -e "cluster.name=elasticsearch" -e "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms750m -Xmx750m" elasticsearch:7.16.3

Run the exporter:

elasticsearch_exporter --es.uri="127.0.0.1:9200" --es.all --es.indices

Check the metrics from the exporter:

curl -s 127.0.0.1:9114/metrics | grep elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current 
# HELP elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current The number of documents currently being indexed to an index
# TYPE elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current gauge
elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current{cluster="elasticsearch",index=".geoip_databases"} 0

For next steps, I would query the exporter directly and see if the metric is listed. Also, are you sure that you're on the latest version of the exporter? The current version is v1.5.0

[lynBIT]

I have --es.ssl-skip-verify on my es exporter, does it have anything to do with this?

[gempir]

Running the latest version 1.5

elasticsearch_exporter --web.listen-address=127.0.0.1:9114 --es.all --es.cluster_settings --es.indices --es.indices_settings --es.indices_mappings --es.aliases --es.shards

But also, I do not get

elasticsearch_indices_index_current

Other metrics around index stats do exist:

elasticsearch_indices_indexing_index_time_seconds_total

[gempir]

Oh it's a typo!

elasticsearch_indices_index_current

Says the readme, but the correct name is elasticsearch_index_stats_index_current
