Elasticsearch Marvel - Turn off logging

Question

Is it possible to have Elasticsearch Marvel installed and have it not collect any data, would changing the template to 0 shards and 0 replicates do that for me?

Answer 1

Just add this line to the config/elasticsearch.yml file to stop a node producing data:

marvel.agent.enabled: false

See the configuration docs for Marvel.

Answer 2

marvel.agent.interval: -1 

Then restart ElasticSearch. From the docs:

marvel.agent.interval Controls how often data samples are collected. Defaults to 10s. Set to -1 to temporarily disable data collection. You can update this setting through the Cluster Update Settings API.
