Hi All, 

What are some of the best ways to monitor the health status of KV store of the heavy forwarders in my environment. I am looking for a way to monitor it with a search from my search head. 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

+1 On the "forget the KVstore" part. Unless you have one of those strange inputs which insist on keeping state in kvstore, just disable the kvstore altogether and don't worry about it.

Hi

why you want keep kvstore running on your HFs? Usually it’s not needed there! Only reason why you need it, is some modular input which keep its checkpoint there. Usually this means that you have wrote it by yourself.

If you really need it, then add HF as indexer on your MC and use it for monitoring.
