Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

This Elastic integration is used to collect the following metrics from IBM WebSphere Application Server:
- JDBC metrics
- Servlet metrics
- Session Manager metrics
- ThreadPool metrics
This integration uses Prometheus to collect above metrics.
To open Prometheus endpoint read following instructions.
This integration has been tested against WebSphere Application Server traditional version 9.0.5.17.
If host.ip is shown conflicted under metrics-* data view, then this issue can be solved by reindexing the JDBC, Servlet, Session Manager and ThreadPool data stream's indices.
This data stream collects JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) related metrics.
