Everything is a Freaking DNS problem - jmxtrans http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/taxonomy/term/1475/0 en Graphite, JMXTrans, Ganglia, Logster, Collectd, say what ? http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/graphite-jmxtrans-ganglia-logster-collectd-say-what <p>Given that @patrickdebois is working on improving data collection I thought it would be a good idea to describe the setup I currently have hacked together.</p> <p>(Something which can be used as a starting point to improve stuff, and I have to write documentation anyhow) </p> <p>I currently have 3 sources , and one target, which will eventually expand to at least another target and most probably more sources too.</p> <p><img src="http://www.krisbuytaert.be/images/VagrantGraphite.jpg" /></p> <p>The 3 sources are basically typical system data which I collect using collectd, However I`m using collectd-carbon from <a href="https://github.com/indygreg/collectd-carbon.git" title="https://github.com/indygreg/collectd-carbon.git">https://github.com/indygreg/collectd-carbon.git</a> to send data to Graphite.</p> <p>I`m parsing the Apache and Tomcat logfiles with logster , currently sending them only to Graphite, but logster has an option to send them to Ganglia too.</p> <p>And I`m using JMXTrans to collect JMX data from Java apps that have this data exposed and send it to Graphite. (JMXTrans also comes with a Ganglia target option) </p> <p>Rather than going in depth over the config it's probably easier to point to a Vagrant box I build <a href="https://github.com/KrisBuytaert/vagrant-graphite" title="https://github.com/KrisBuytaert/vagrant-graphite">https://github.com/KrisBuytaert/vagrant-graphite</a> which brings up a machine that does pretty much all of this on localhost.</p> <p>Obviously it's still a work in progress and lots of classes will need to be parametrized and cleaned up. But it's a working setup, and not just on my machine .. </p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/graphite-jmxtrans-ganglia-logster-collectd-say-what#comments collectd devops ganglia graphite jmxtrans logster monitoringsucks Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:46:47 +0000 Kris Buytaert 1058 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
