create-stats-dashboard

A wrapper to create and initialise a stats dashboard on kibana using import-kibana-dashboard, for easy manipulation of stats sent via stats-to-elasticsearch

Intro to the nearform stats tooling

Created with the purpose to make creating visualisations about your process easy. At nearform, we achieve this using the modules stats, stats-to-elasticsearch and create-stats-dashboard. This makes it very easy to collect process stats in elasticsearch and visualise them in a dashboard in kibana, similar to that below:

Once your dashboard is setup with create-stats-dashboard, all you should need to do is require the stats-to-elasticsearch module and point it at the dashboard to get cool (and useful) visualisations!

installation

npm install -g @nearform/create-stats-dashboard

CLI Usage

$ create-stats-dashboard -h $ES_HOST -p $ES_PORT

Programmatic usage

const createStatsDashboard = require('@nearform/create-stats-dashboard')
createStatsDashboard({
  host: 'es-host', // default localhost
  port: 'es-port', // default 9200
})
