Running Heartbeat on Kubernetesedit
Heartbeat Docker images can be used on Kubernetes to check resources uptime.

Kubernetes deploy manifestsedit
A single Heartbeat can check for uptime of the whole cluster.
Everything is deployed under kube-system
namespace, you can change that by
updating the YAML file.
To get the manifests just run:
curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/beats/7.10/deploy/kubernetes/heartbeat-kubernetes.yaml
If you are using Kubernetes 1.7 or earlier: Heartbeat uses a hostPath volume to persist internal data, it’s located
under /var/lib/heartbeat-data. The manifest uses folder autocreation (DirectoryOrCreate
), which was introduced in
Kubernetes 1.8. You will need to remove type: DirectoryOrCreate
from the manifest and create the host folder yourself.
Settingsedit
Some parameters are exposed in the manifest to configure logs destination, by default they will use an existing Elasticsearch deploy if it’s present, but you may want to change that behavior, so just edit the YAML file and modify them:
- name: ELASTICSEARCH_HOST value: elasticsearch - name: ELASTICSEARCH_PORT value: "9200" - name: ELASTICSEARCH_USERNAME value: elastic - name: ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD value: changeme
Deployedit
To deploy Heartbeat to Kubernetes just run:
kubectl create -f heartbeat-kubernetes.yaml
Then you should be able to check the status by running:
$ kubectl --namespace=kube-system get deployment/heartbeat NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE heartbeat 1/1 1 1 1m
