There's a bunch of free tools for monitoring ES also. While they aren't as pretty, they certainly get the job done.<p><a href="http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/community/current/health.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/c...</a>
I've been really impressed with how easy it was to set up and instantly identify bottlenecks within our infrastructure. Sure, other plugins have offered similar statistics (and some with a nice UI too) but to provide all of this insight out-of-the-box and in a single tool is an amazing addition to Elasticsearch, and in my opinion will help boost even more widespread adoption.<p>If anyone is interested, I wrote about my initial reactions to Marvel here: <a href="http://chrissimpson.co.uk/elasticsearch-marvel-monitor-and-manage-your-cluster.html" rel="nofollow">http://chrissimpson.co.uk/elasticsearch-marvel-monitor-and-m...</a>
Looks _really_ great: one of the prettiest dashboards I've seen, combining logs & metrics. However, it would be a lot more interesting if it was open source; because then it would get forked and applied for monitoring other systems. It would also demonstrate that ElasticSearch is a good solution for storing monitoring data, and the potential audience for ES would be much greater.<p>As it stands, it looks like another company trying to monetize open-source by selling a pretty dashboard, because that is what "enterprise" cares about. That to me feels very short-term.
I tried to install this last night and failed. I'm still on ES 0.90.5. I had previously tried to upgrade to v1.0rc and failed. In the meantime, I'm using ElasticHQ which is great.<p><a href="http://www.elastichq.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elastichq.org/</a><p>Some feedback for the team:<p>This release of Marvel would have made more sense after 1.0.<p>The authentication and authorization of the entire system still needs work. I've got a proxy apache+LDAP in front now but it's clunky and difficult to understand/modify with plugins for example.<p>You should integrate Marvel and other plugins into your apt/yum repos.<p>Finally, keep up the great work! Truly revolutionary stuff and great building blocks for all of us out there working in this space. Thanks.
The interface looks a lot like grafana:<p><a href="https://github.com/torkelo/grafana" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/torkelo/grafana</a><p>Is it based on or inspired by grafana?
I don't use ES but this looks awesome. What do I use is Solr, and New Relic for monitoring. It would be great if Marvel integrated with New Relic.
