This page is intended for contributors to the registry and packages.
A package contains the dashboards, visualisations, and configurations to monitor the logs and metrics of a particular technology or group of related services, such as “MySQL”, or “System”.
The package consists of:
- Name
- Zero or more dashboards and visualisations and Canvas workpads
- Zero or more ML job definitions
- Zero or more dataset templates
The package is versioned.
An integration is a specific type of a package defining datasets used to observe the same product (logs and metrics).
A dataset template is part of a package and contains all the assets which are needed to create a dataset. Example for assets are: ingest pipeline, agent config template, ES index template, ...
Dataset templates are inside the package directory under dataset.
The dataset template consists of:
- An alias templates (or the fields.yml to create it)
- Zero or more ingest pipelines
- An Elastic Agent config template
A defined importing procedure used to transform both Filebeat and Metricbeat modules, related to the same observed product, into a single integration. The integration contains extracted dataset configuration of beat modules, hence no modules are required to exist anymore.
The migration procedure is described in the Integrations CONTRIBUTING guide: https://github.com/elastic/integrations/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
