If you're used to using earlier versions of Metricbeat, you can enable the appropriate modules and metricsets in the metricbeat.yml file directly by adding entries to the metricbeat.modules list. Each entry in the list begins with a dash (-) and is followed by the settings for that module. For example:
metricbeat.modules:
#------------------ Memcached Module -----------------------------
- module: memcached
metricsets: ["stats"]
period: 10s
hosts: ["localhost:11211"]
#------------------- MongoDB Module ------------------------------
- module: mongodb
metricsets: ["dbstats", "status"]
period: 5s
It is possible to specify a module multiple times and specify a different period one or more metricsets should be used for. For example:
#------- Couchbase Module -----------------------------
- module: couchbase
metricsets: ["bucket"]
period: 15s
hosts: ["localhost:8091"]
- module: couchbase
metricsets: ["cluster", "node"]
period: 30s
hosts: ["localhost:8091"]
#------- Couchbase Module -----------------------------
- module: couchbase
metricsets: ["bucket"]
period: 15s
hosts: ["localhost:8091"]
- module: couchbase
metricsets: ["cluster", "node"]
period: 30s
hosts: ["localhost:8091"]
