Snap collector plugin - Elasticsearch

This plugin collects Elasticsearch cluster and nodes statistics using Snap telemetry framework.

The intention for this plugin is to collect metrics for Elasticsearch nodes and cluster health.

This plugin is used in the [Snap framework] (http://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap).

Getting Started

In order to use this plugin you need the Elasticsearch cluster that you can collect metrics from.

To build the plugin binary:

Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-elasticsearch

Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:

$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-plugin-collector-elasticsearch.git

Build the Snap elasticsearch plugin by running make within the cloned repo:

$ make

This builds the plugin in ./build/

You can also download prebuilt binaries for OS X and Linux (64-bit) at the releases page

Configuration and Usage

Documentation

To learn more about this plugin:

Collected Metrics

This plugin can gather Elasticsearch node and cluster level statistics. The node level statistics are similar for each node except that each node has a different node id. To show the statistics for all nodes inside a cluster, using a wildcard * to represent node id in the task manifest. Otherwise, a particular node id may be specified.

In the node level, this plugin collects metrics listed the next catalog.

Metric Name Description
indices Indices stats about size, document count, indexing and deletion times, search times, field cache size, merges and flushes
os Operating system stats, load average, mem, swap
process Process statistics, memory consumption, cpu usage, open file descriptors
jvm JVM stats, memory pool information, garbage collection, buffer pools, number of loaded/unloaded classes
thread_pool Statistics about each thread pool, including current size, queue and rejected tasks
fs File system information, data path, free disk space, read/write stats
http HTTP connection information
breaks Statistics about the field data circuit breaker
script Computing the grades stats based on a script

Examples

Example running snap-plugin-collector-elasticsearch and writing data to a file.

Dockerized example

In one terminal window, open the snap daemon (in this case with logging set to 1 and trust disabled):

$ snapteld -l 1 -t 0

In another terminal window:

Download and load Snap plugins:

$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-collector-elasticsearch/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-collector-elasticsearch
$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-publisher-file/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-publisher-file
$ chmod 755 snap-plugin-*
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-collector-elasticsearch
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-publisher-file

See available metrics for your system (this is just part of the list)
