Agent for Monasca

cindy oneill 2e4913f4b6 process.py detection plugin that accepts JSON string or YAML config
JSON was used to support names that contain special characters.

New json argument type for monasca-setup (inspired by review from
Alexis Lee https://review.openstack.org/339023/)
Note: The json argument would help solve a problem
with file_size.py (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625966),
but file_size.py would still need modifications to accept
json kwargs in its __init__ method.

Introduction

The Monasca Agent is a modern Python monitoring agent for gathering metrics and sending them to the Monasca API. The Agent supports collecting metrics from a variety of sources as follows:

  • System metrics such as cpu and memory utilization.
  • Nagios plugins. The Monasca Agent can run Nagios plugins and send the status code returned by the plugin as a metric to the Monasca API.
  • Statsd. The Monasca Agent supports an integrated Statsd daemon which can be used by applications via a statsd client library.
  • Host alive. The Monasca Agent can perform active checks on a host to determine if it is alive using ping (ICMP) or SSH.
  • Process checks. The Monasca Agent can check a process and return several metrics on the process such as number of instances, memory, io and threads.
  • Http Endpoint checks. The Monasca Agent can perform active checks on http endpoints by sending an HTTP request to an API.
  • Service checks. The Agent can check service such as MySQL, RabbitMQ, and many more.
  • OpenStack metrics. The agent can perform checks on OpenStack processes.
  • The Agent can automatically detect and setup checks on certain processes and resources.

The Agent is extensible through configuration of additional plugins, written in Python.
