Installing and using SemaText SPM

The plugins that we have seen previously allow real-time monitoring. If you need to monitor your cluster for a long time you need tools that collect your logs and allow running analytics on them.

The SemaText company offers a paid service, which allows remote collecting and processing of your ElasticSearch activities.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch cluster and a modern HTML5 browser.

How to do it…

For installing SemaText SPM plugin, we will perform the steps given as follows:

1. To use the SPM monitor, you need to register an account to SemaText available at https://apps.sematext.com/users-web/register.do to have a trial period. For every account an application key is generated and this key is required to download and install the client application.
2. The SPM monitor is composed of a client application that must be installed on your server and a web frontend managed by SemaText Cloud.
