# Kibana Input Plugin

The `kibana` plugin queries the [Kibana][] API to obtain the service status.

- Telegraf minimum version: 1.8
- Kibana minimum tested version: 6.0

[Kibana]: https://www.elastic.co/

### Configuration

```toml
[[inputs.kibana]]
  ## Specify a list of one or more Kibana servers
  servers = ["http://localhost:5601"]

  ## Timeout for HTTP requests
  timeout = "5s"

  ## HTTP Basic Auth credentials
  # username = "username"
  # password = "pa$$word"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
```

### Metrics

  - tags:
    - name (Kibana reported name)
    - source (Kibana server hostname or IP)

    - version (Kibana version)
  - fields:
    - status_code (integer, green=1 yellow=2 red=3 unknown=0)
    - heap_total_bytes (integer)
    - heap_max_bytes (integer; deprecated in 1.13.3: use `heap_total_bytes` field)
    - heap_used_bytes (integer)
    - uptime_ms (integer)
    - response_time_avg_ms (float)
    - response_time_max_ms (integer)
    - concurrent_connections (integer)
    - requests_per_sec (float)
