How to resolve Sprinto check for monitoring AWS Elasticsearch cluster freespace
About
Sprinto Check: AWS Elasticsearch cluster freespace should be monitored
Upon integrating your AWS account with Sprinto, the platform fetches the list of services from your AWS account. If you are using AWS Elasticsearch and have not set up a monitoring alert for the metric FreeStorageSpace, Sprinto activates the mentioned check for all Elasticsearch clusters under your account.
Note: At this time, our platform does not support AWS CloudWatch Composite Alarms or Math-Based Alarms.
This means you cannot create alarms that:
Combine multiple alarms using logical conditions (e.g., ALARM1 AND ALARM2)
Use metric math expressions (e.g., calculating averages or deltas across metrics)
Purpose
Monitoring free storage space in your AWS Elasticsearch clusters, specifically the FreeStorageSpace metric, is crucial to prevent potential issues related to storage capacity. Sprinto sends notifications if the free space falls below the defined threshold, enabling proactive actions to manage storage resources efficiently.
How to Resolve
To address this check, follow the steps below to create an AWS CloudWatch alert for monitoring AWS Elasticsearch cluster free space.
Before you Begin
Ensure you have "Admin" access to the AWS account to create alerts.
Ensure you have Elasticsearch clusters created on your AWS account for which you will create the alert.
Log in to Sprinto as an administrator.
Create Monitoring Alert
Log in to your AWS console using your credentials.
Navigate to the CloudWatch web service.
Go to Alarms > In alarm, and click Create alarm.
Click Select metric.
On the Select metric page, choose the AWS/Elasticsearch namespace and select the metric FreeStorageSpace.
Specify the metric and conditions to define the alert trigger point, then click Next.
On the configure action page:
Create new topic: Enter the topic name and email addresses for alert notifications.
Add notification: Select the created SNS topic and click Add notification.
Enter a name and description for the created alert, then click Next.
Preview your created alarm and edit any parameters if required, then click Create alarm.
Once the monitoring alert is established on CloudWatch for AWS Elasticsearch Cluster Free Storage Space, Sprinto fetches the changes, and the Sprinto check status is marked as "Passing."
