# Standard Plugins
Plugins are the way to extend the Monasca Agent. Plugins add additional functionality that allow the agent to perform checks on other applications, servers or services. Some plugins may have corresponding [Detection Plugins](#detection-plugins) to automatically detect, configure, and activate certain Agent plugins. This section describes the standard plugins that are delivered by default.
** Standard location for plugin YAML config files **
> /etc/monasca/agent/conf.d/
The following plugins are delivered via setup as part of the standard plugin checks. See [Customizations.md](https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/docs/Customizations.md) for how to write new plugins.

## Dot File Configuration
Dot files, as referenced above, provide an added level of configuration to some component plugins. Here are a few examples:
> **apache**
```
Example for apache process and server-status metrics (secure)
[client]
user=root
password=pass
url=https://localhost/server-status?auto
or
Example for apache process and server-status metrics (non-secure)
[client]
url=http://localhost/server-status?auto
or
Example for apache process metrics only
[client]
use_server_status_metrics=false
```
> **mysql**
```
[client]
user=root
password=pass
host=server
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
ssl_ca=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
```
> **rabbitmq**
```
[client]
user=guest
password=pass
nodes=rabbit@devstack
queues=conductor
exchanges=nova,cinder,ceilometer,glance,keystone,neutron,heat,ironic,openstack
```
## Plugin Configuration
Each plugin has a corresponding YAML configuration file with the same stem name as the plugin script file.
The configuration file has the following structure:
```
init_config:
key1: value1
key2: value2
instances:
- username: john_smith
password: 123456
dimensions:
node_type: test
- username: jane_smith
password: 789012
dimensions:
node_type: production
```
#### init_config
In the init_config section you can specify an arbitrary number of global name:value pairs that will be available on every run of the check in self.init_config.
Here you can specify a collection frequency specific to the plugin by setting collect_period.
The global frequency at which all plugins are run is specified by the variable "check_frequency" defined in https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/docs/Agent.md.
Under normal and default conditions when a plugin runs all the metrics are collected and sent. For example, if check_frequency=30, by default the plugin will be run every 30 seconds and the metrics will be sent.
The variable "collect_period" allows each plugins collect period to be further adjusted to a value greater than the frequency at which the plugin is run specified by "check_frequency", such that when the collection run starts, the plugin might not be called. For example, if check_frequency=30 and collect_period=600, the plugin will be called and metrics sent every 600 seconds. This allows fewer metrics to be sent.
The "collect_period" should be evenly divisible by the "check_frequency". For example, if you want the plugin to collect and send metrics every 600 seconds (10 minutes), and the global check_frequency=30, then the collect_period should be set to 600.
If the "collect_period" is not evenly divisible by the "check_frequency" then the "collect_period" will get rounded up to the nearest multiple of the "check_frequency". For example, if the collect_period=45 and the global check_frequency=30, then the "collect_period" will get rounded up to 60 and the plugin will get called and send metrics every 60 seconds.
#### instances
The instances section is a list of instances that this check will be run against. Your actual check() method is run once per instance. The name:value pairs for each instance specify details about the instance that are necessary for the check.
#### dimensions
The instances section can also contain optional dimensions. These dimensions will be added to any metrics generated by the check for that instance.
#### Plugin Documentation
Your plugin should include an example YAML configuration file to be placed in /etc/monasca/agent/conf.d/ which has the name of the plugin YAML file plus the extension '.example', so the example configuration file for the process plugin would be at /usr/local/share/monasca/agent/conf.d/process.yaml.example. This file should include a set of example init_config and instances clauses that demonstrate how the plugin can be configured.
# Detection Plugins
The `monasca_setup` library contains a number of detection plugins, which are located within the library at
> monasca_setup/detection/plugins/
Some detection plugins activate a specific Agent plugin of the same name, and some leverage other general-purpose Agent plugins to monitor a particular service. There are three classes in total:
## Plugin
The base class of detection plugins requires a separate Agent plugin of the same name.
## ArgsPlugin
Any plugins which are configured by passing arguments, rather than relying on detection, may use the ArgsPlugin class.
## ServicePlugin
This class covers Process, HTTP endpoints, Directory, and File monitoring. It is primarily used for monitoring OpenStack components.
Note: There are existing default detection plugins for http_check.py, directory.py, and file_size.py that only require configuration.
A process can be monitored by process_names or by process_username. Pass in the process_names list argument when watching process by name. Pass in the process_username argument and component_name arguments when watching process by username. Watching by username is useful for groups of processes that
are owned by a specific user. For process monitoring by process_username the component_name is required since it is used to initialize the instance name in process.yaml.
component_name is optional for monitoring by process_name and all other checks.
An http endpoint connection can be checked by passing in the service_api_url and optional search_pattern parameters.
The http check can be skipped by specifying the argument 'disable_http_check'
Directory size can be checked by passing in a directory_names list.
File size can be checked by passing in a file_dirs_names list where each directory name item includes a list of files.
example: 'file_dirs_names': [('/var/log/monasca/api', ['monasca-api'])]
Note: service_name and component_name are optional (except component_name is required with process_username) arguments used for metric dimensions by all checks.
## List of Detection Plugins

| disk.total_used_space_mb | | The total amount of used disk space in Mbytes aggregated across all the disks on a particular node. **NOTE: This is an optional metric that is only sent when send_rollup_stats is set to true.** |
| io.read_kbytes_sec | device | Kbytes/sec read by an io device

| io.write_time_sec | device | Amount of write time in seconds to an io device
### Network
The network check can be configured to submit its metrics in either bytes/sec or bits/sec. The default behavior is to submit bytes. To submit `net.in_bits_sec` and `net.out_bits_sec` rather than `net.in_bytes_sec` and `net.out_bytes_sec`, set the config option `use_bits` to true for the instance you want to configure.
Example configuration:
```
init_config: null
instances:
- built_by: System
excluded_interface_re: lo.*|vnet.*|tun.*|ovs.*|br.*|tap.*|qbr.*|qvb.*|qvo.*
name: network_stats
send_rollup_stats: true
use_bits: false
```
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| net.in_bytes_sec | device | Number of network bytes received per second

| net.in_packets_dropped_sec | device | Number of inbound network packets dropped per second
| net.out_packets_dropped_sec | device | Number of outbound network packets dropped per second
### Monasca Agent
The Monasca Agent itself generates a small number of metrics.
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| monasca.thread_count | service=monitoring component=monasca-agent | Number of threads that the collector is consuming for this collection run |
| monasca.emit_time_sec | service=monitoring component=monasca-agent | Amount of time that the forwarder took to send metrics to the Monasca API. |
| monasca.collection_time_sec | service=monitoring component=monasca-agent | Amount of time that the collector took for this collection run |
### Limiting System Metrics
It is possible to reduce the number of system metrics with certain configuration parameters.
| Config Option | Values | Description |
| -------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| net_bytes_only | true/false | Sends bytes/sec metrics only, disabling packets/sec, packets_dropped/sec, and errors/sec. |
| cpu_idle_only | true/false | Sends idle_perc only, disabling wait/stolen/system/user metrics |
| send_io_stats | true/false | If true, sends I/O metrics for each disk device. If false, sends only disk space metrics. |
These parameters may added to `instances` in the plugin `.yaml` configuration file, or added via `monasca-setup` like this:
$ monasca-setup -d system -a 'cpu_idle_only=true net_bytes_only=true send_io_stats=false' --overwrite
By default, all metrics are enabled.
## Apache
This section describes the Apache Web Server check that can be performed by the Agent. The Apache check gathers metrics on the Apache Web Server. The Apache check requires a configuration file called apache.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory. The config file must contain the server url, username and password (If you are using authentication) that you are interested in monitoring.
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
- apache_status_url: http://localhost/server-status?auto
apache_user: root
apache_password: password
```
If you want the monasca-setup program to detect and auto-configure the plugin for you, you must create the file /root/.apache.cnf with the information needed in the configuration yaml file before running the setup program. It should look something like this:
```
[client]
url=http://localhost/server-status?auto
user=root
password=password
```
The Apache checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| apache.performance.idle_worker_count | hostname, service=apache component=apache | The number of idle workers |
| apache.performance.busy_worker_count | hostname, service=apache component=apache | The number of workers serving requests |
| apache.performance.cpu_load_perc | hostname, service=apache component=apache | The current percentage of CPU used by each worker and in total by all workers combined |
| apache.net.total_kbytes | hostname, service=apache component=apache | Total Kbytes |
| apache.net.hits | hostname, service=apache component=apache | Total accesses |
| apache.net.kbytes_sec | hostname, service=apache component=apache | Total Kbytes per second |
| apache.net.requests_sec | hostname, service=apache component=apache | Total accesses per second |
## Cacti
See [the example configuration](https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/conf.d/cacti.yaml.example) for how to configure the Cacti plugin.
## Check_MK_Local
The [Check_MK](http://mathias-kettner.com/check_mk.html) [Agent](http://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_linuxagent.html) can be extended through a series of [local checks](http://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_localchecks.html). This plugin parses the `<<<local>>>` output of `check_mk_agent` and converts them into Monasca metrics. It is installed by `monasca-setup` automatically when the `check_mk_agent` script is found to be installed on the system.
The default configuration is to submit metrics from all local checks returned by `check_mk_agent`. One metric will be submitted for the status code, and one additional metric for each performance measurement included in the result. The basic format of `check_mk_agent` local check output is:
```
<status> <item name> <performance data> <check output>
```
So if the output line is:
```
0 glance_registry response_time=0.004 glance_registry: status UP http://0.0.0.0:9191
```
the `check_mk_local` plugin for the Monasca Agent will return these metrics:
```
Timestamp: 1430848955
Name: check_mk.glance_registry.status
Value: 0
Dimensions: hostname=devstack
service=monitoring
Value Meta: detail=glance_registry: status UP http://0.0.0.0:9191
```
and
```
Timestamp: 1430852467
Name: check_mk.glance_registry.response_time
Value: 0.006
Dimensions: hostname=devstack
service=monitoring
Value Meta: None
```
The name of the metric starts with `check_mk.`, includes the check_mk item name, and is followed by either `status` for the Nagios status code (0, 1, 2, or 3), or the name of the performance metric. The free-form output from the check is included in the meta field of the check status.
You may override these defaults in the configuration, which by default is `/etc/monasca/agent/conf.d/check_mk_local.yaml`.
```
init_config:
mk_agent_path: /usr/bin/check_mk_agent
custom:
- mk_item: sirius-api
discard: false
dimensions: {'component': 'sirius'}
metric_name_base: check_mk.sirius_api
- mk_item: eon-api
discard: true
instances:
- {}
```
The `custom` section of `init_config` is optional and may be blank or removed entirely. In this section, you may add custom rules to Monasca metrics based on the check_mk item name.
* *mk_item* - This is the name (2nd field) returned by check_mk_agent
* *discard* - Exclude the metric from Monasca, True or False (if *discard* is not specified, the default is False)
* *dimensions* - Extra dimensions to include, in `{'name': 'value'}` format.
* *metric_name_base* - This represents the leftmost part of the metric name to use. Status and any performance metrics are appended following a dot, so ".status" and ".response_time" would be examples.
Because `check_mk_agent` can only return all local metrics at once, the `check_mk_local` plugin requires no instances to be defined in the configuration. It runs `check_mk_agent` once and processes all the results. This way, new `check_mk` local scripts can be added without having to modify the plugin configuration.
## Certificate Expiration (HTTPS)
An extension to the Agent provides the ability to determine the expiration date of the certificate for the URL. The metric is days until the certificate expires
default dimensions:
url: url
A YAML file (cert_check.yaml) contains the list of urls to check. It also contains
The configuration of the certificate expiration check is done in YAML, and consists of two keys:
* init_config
* instances
The init_config section lists the global configuration settings, such as the Certificate Authority Certificate file, the ciphers to use, the period at which to output the metric and the url connection timeout (in seconds, floating-point number)
$ ls -l `which ping` -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 35712 Nov 8 2011 /bin/ping
```
init_config:
ca_certs: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
ciphers: HIGH:-aNULL:-eNULL:-PSK:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5
collect_period: 3600
timeout: 1.0
```
The instances section contains the urls to check.
```
instances:
- built_by: CertificateCheck
url: https://somehost.somedomain.net:8333
- built_by: CertificateCheck
url: https://somehost.somedomain.net:9696
```
The certicate expiration checks return the following metrics
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| https.cert_expire_days | url=supplied url being checked | The number of days until the certificate expires
There is a detection plugin that should be used to configure this extension. It is invoked as:
$ monasca-setup -d CertificateCheck -a urls=https://somehost.somedomain.net:8333,https://somehost.somedomain.net:9696
The urls option is a comma separated list of urls to check.
These options can be set if desired:
* ca_certs: file containing the certificates for Certificate Authorities. The default is /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
* ciphers: list of ciphers to use. default is HIGH:-aNULL:-eNULL:-PSK:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5
* collect_period: Integer time in seconds between outputting the metric. Since the metric is in days, it makes sense to output it at a slower rate. The default is 3600, once per hour
* timeout: Float time in seconds before timing out the connect to the url. Increase if needed for very slow servers, but making this too long will increase the time this plugin takes to run if the server for the url is down. The default is 1.0 seconds
## Couch
See [the example configuration](https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/conf.d/couch.yaml.example) for how to configure the Couch plugin.
## Couchbase
See [the example configuration](https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/conf.d/couchbase.yaml.example) for how to configure the Couchbase plugin.
## Crash
### Overview
The crash plugin provides metrics for crash dumps present on the system. Currently, it only returns the number of crash dumps found plus the date-/timestamp of the most recent crash in a `value_meta` dictionary.
### Metrics
Only one metric is provided at the moment with a `hostname` dimension.
| Name | Description | value_meta |
|------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------------|
| crash.dump_count | Number of crash dumps found | {'latest': u'<date-/timestamp>'} |
### Configuration
The `monasca-setup` program will configure the Crash plugin if a crash kernel is loaded. The default directory where the plugin will look for crash dumps is /var/crash.
Sample config:
```
init_config:
crash_dir: /var/crash
instances:
- name: crash_stats

## Directory Checks
This section describes the directory check that can be performed by the Agent. Directory checks are used for gathering the total size of all the files under a specific directory. A YAML file (directory.yaml) contains the list of directory names to check. A Python script (directory.py) runs checks each host in turn to gather stats. Note: for sparse file, directory check is using its resident size instead of the actual size.
Similar to other checks, the configuration is done in YAML, and consists of two keys: init_config and instances. The former is not used by directory check, while the later contains one or more sets of directory names to check on. Directory check will sum the size of all the files under the given directory recursively.
Sample config:
```
init_config: null
instances:
- built_by: Directory
directory: /var/log/monasca/agent
- built_by: Directory
directory: /etc/monasca/agent
```
The directory checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions |
| ----------- | ---------- |
| directory.size_bytes | path, hostname, service |
| directory.files_count | path, hostname, service |
## Docker
## Elasticsearch Checks
This section describes the Elasticsearch check that can be performed by the Agent. The Elasticsearch check requires a configuration file called elastic.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory.
Sample config:
```
init_config:

## File Size
This section describes the file size check that can be performed by the Agent. File size checks are used for gathering the size of individual files or the size of each file under a specific directory. The agent supports additional functionality through the use of Python scripts. A YAML file (file_size.yaml) contains the list of file directory names and file names to check. A Python script (file_size.py) runs checks each host in turn to gather stats.
Similar to other checks, the configuration is done in YAML, and consists of two keys: init_config and instances. The former is not used by file_size, while the later contains one or more sets of file directory name and file names to check, plus optional parameter recursive. When recursive is true and file_name is set to '*', file_size check will take all the files under the given directory recursively.
Sample config:
```
init_config: null
instances:
- built_by: FileSize
directory_name: /var/log/monasca/agent/
file_names:
- '*'
recursive: false
- built_by: FileSize
directory_name: /var/log/monasca/api
file_names:
- monasca-api.log
- request.log
recursive: false
- built_by: FileSize
directory_name: /var/log/monasca/notification
file_names:
- notification.log
recursive: false
```
The file_size checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions |
| ----------- | ---------- |
| file.size_bytes | file_name, directory_name, hostname, service |

## Host Alive
An extension to the Agent can provide basic "aliveness" checks of other systems, verifying that the remote host (or device) is online. This check currently provides two methods of determining connectivity:
* ping (ICMP)
* SSH (banner test, port 22 by default)
Of the two, the SSH check provides a more comprehensive test of a remote system's availability, since it checks the banner returned by the remote host. A server in the throes of a kernel panic may still respond to ping requests, but would not return an SSH banner. It is suggested, therefore, that the SSH check be used instead of the ping check when possible.
A YAML file (host_alive.yaml) contains the list of remote hosts to check, including the host name and testing method (either 'ping' or 'ssh'). A Python script (host_alive.py) runs checks against each host in turn, returning a 0 on success and a 1 on failure in the result sent through the Forwarder and on the Monitoring API.
Because the Agent itself does not run as root, it relies on the system ping command being suid root in order to function.
The configuration of the host alive check is done in YAML, and consists of two keys:
* init_config
* instances
The init_config section lists the global configuration settings, such as SSH port, SSH connection timeout (in seconds, floating-point number), and ping timeout (in seconds, integer).
$ ls -l `which ping` -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 35712 Nov 8 2011 /bin/ping
```
init_config:
ssh_port: 22
# ssh_timeout is a floating-point number of seconds
ssh_timeout: 0.5
# ping_timeout is an integer number of seconds
ping_timeout: 1
```
The instances section contains the hostname/IP to check, and the type of check to perform, which is either ssh or ping.
```
# alive_test can be either "ssh" for an SSH banner test (port 22)
# or "ping" for an ICMP ping test instances:
- name: ssh to somehost
host_name: somehost.somedomain.net
alive_test: ssh
- name: ping gateway
host_name: gateway.somedomain.net
alive_test: ping
- name: ssh to 192.168.0.221
host_name: 192.168.0.221
alive_test: ssh
```
To handle the case where the target system has multiple IP Addresses and the network name to be used for
liveness checking is not the same as the usual name used to identify the server in Monasca,
an additional target_hostname parameter can be configured. It is the network hostname or IP
Address to check instead of host_name. The hostname dimension will always be set to the value of
host_name even if target_hostname is specified. A dimension target_hostname will be added
with the value of target_hostname if it is different from host_name.
To simplify configuring multiple checks, when the host_alive detection plugin is configured, hostname can
be a comma separated list. Instances will be created for each value. target_hostname can also
be a comma separated list, however, empty values for an individual entry can be given if there is
no target_hostname for a given hostname entry.
Here is an example of configuring target_hostname :
```
- name: ping somenode
host_name: somenode
target_hostname: somenode.mgmt.net
alive_test: ssh
```
The host alive checks return the following metrics
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| host_alive_status | observer_host=fqdn of checking host, hostname=supplied hostname being checked, target_hostname=the network hostname or IP Address to check instead of host_name; only added if different than hostname, test_type=ping or ssh | Status of remote host(device) is online or not. (0=online, 1=offline)
Also in the case of an error the value_meta contains an error message.
The default dimensions are:
observer_host: fqdn
hostname: fqdn | supplied
target_hostname: Set to target_hostname only if that is different than host_name
test_type: ping | ssh | Unrecognized alive_test
default value_meta
error: error_message
## HTTP (endpoint status)
This section describes the http endpoint check that can be performed by the Agent. Http endpoint checks are checks that perform simple up/down checks on services, such as HTTP/REST APIs. An agent, given a list of URLs, can dispatch an http request and report to the API success/failure as a metric.
default dimensions:
url: endpoint
default value_meta
error: error_message
The Agent supports additional functionality through the use of Python scripts. A YAML file (http_check.yaml) contains the list of URLs to check (among other optional parameters). A Python script (http_check.py) runs checks each host in turn, returning a 0 on success and a 1 on failure in the result sent through the Forwarder and on the Monitoring API.
Similar to other checks, the configuration is done in YAML, and consists of two keys: init_config and instances. The former is not used by http_check, while the later contains one or more URLs to check, plus optional parameters like a timeout, username/password, pattern to match against the HTTP response body, whether or not to include the HTTP response in the metric (as a 'detail' dimension), whether or not to also record the response time, and more.
If the endpoint being checked requires authentication, there are two options. First, a username and password supplied in the instance options will be used by the check for authentication. Alternately, the check can retrieve a keystone token for authentication. Specific keystone information can be provided for each check, otherwise the information from the agent config will be used.
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
url: http://192.168.0.254/healthcheck
timeout: 1
include_content: true
collect_response_time: true
match_pattern: '.*OK.*OK.*OK.*OK.*OK'
```
The http_status checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| http_status | url, detail | The status of the http endpoint call (0 = success, 1 = failure)
| http_response_time | url | The response time in seconds of the http endpoint call
## HTTP Metrics
This section describes the http metrics check that can be performed by the agent. Http metrics checks are checks that retrieve metrics from any url returning a json formatted response. An agent, given a list of URLs, can dispatch an http request and parse the desired metrics from the json response.
default dimensions:
url: endpoint
default value_meta
error: error_message
Similar to other checks, the configuration is done in YAML (http_metrics.yaml), and consists of two keys: init_config and instances. The former is not used by http_metrics, while the later contains one or more URLs to check, plus optional parameters like a timeout, username/password, whether or not to also record the response time, and a whitelist of metrics to collect. The whitelist should consist of a name, path, and type for each metric to be collected. The name is what the metric will be called when it is reported. The path is a string of keys separated by '/' where the metric value resides in the json response. The type is how you want the metric to be recorded (gauge, counter, histogram, rate, set). A gauge will store and report the value it find with no modifications. A counter will increment itself by the value it finds. A histogram will store values and return the calculated max, median, average, count, and percentiles. A rate will return the difference between the last two recorded samples divided by the interval between those samples in seconds. A set will record samples and return the number of unique values in the set.
If the endpoint being checked requires authentication, there are two options. First, a username and password supplied in the instance options will be used by the check for authentication. Alternately, the check can retrieve a keystone token for authentication. Specific keystone information can be provided for each check, otherwise the information from the agent config will be used.
```
init_config:
instances:
url: http://192.168.0.254/metrics
timeout: 1
collect_response_time: true
whitelist:
name: jvm.memory.total.max,
path: gauges/jvm.memory.total.max/value
type: gauge

## Kafka Checks
This section describes the Kafka check that can be performed by the Agent. The Kafka check requires a configuration file called kafka.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory.
Sample config:
```yml
init_config:
instances:
- built_by: Kafka
consumer_groups:
1_metrics:

```
The Kafka checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| kafka.broker_offset | topic, service, component, partition, hostname | broker offset |
| kafka.consumer_offset | topic, service, component, partition, consumer_group, hostname | consumer offset |

## MK Livestatus
[MK Livestatus](http://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_livestatus.html) is a Nagios Event Broker, allowing access to Nagios host and service data through a socket query. The Monasca Agent `mk_livestatus` plugin is a way to access Nagios data and commit it to Monasca. Possible use cases of this plugin include:
* A way to evaluate Monasca with identical metrics to Nagios, providing an apples-to-apples comparison
* A gentle migration from Nagios to Monasca, where both monitoring processes can exist simultaneously during Nagios decommissioning
* A turnkey solution for rapidly converting an existing Nagios installation to Monasca, where the Nagios infrastructure can remain indefinitely
The `mk_livestatus` plugin will be installed during `monasca-setup` if a Nagios/Icinga configuration is found, the MK Livestatus broker_module is installed, and the livestatus socket can be accessed. The `monasca-agent` user will need read access to the socket file in order to function, and a message to this effect will be included in `monasca-setup` output if the socket exists but `monasca-agent` cannot read it.
The configuration file (`/etc/monasca/agent/conf.d/mk_livestatus.yaml` by default) allows for a level of customization of both host and service checks.
* Service checks
* *name* - (Required) Monasca metric name to assign
* *check_type* - (Required) "service" (as opposed to "host" below)
* *display_name* - (Required) Name of the check as seen in Nagios
* *host_name* - (Optional) Limit Monasca metrics of this check to the specified host name (as seen in Nagios).
* *dimensions* - (Optional) Extra Monasca dimensions to include, in `{'key': 'value'}` format
* Host checks
* *name* - (Required) Monasca metric name to assign
* *check_type* - (Required) "host" (as opposed to "service" above)
* *host_name* - (Optional) Limit Monasca metrics of this check to the specified host name (as seen in Nagios).
* *dimensions* - (Optional) Extra Monasca dimensions to include, in `{'key': 'value'}` format
If *host_name* is not specified, metrics for all hosts will be reported.
This configuration example shows several ways to specify instances:
```
init_config:
# Specify the path to the mk_livestatus socket
socket_path: /var/lib/icinga/rw/live
instances:
# One service on one host
- name: nagios.check_http_status
check_type: service
display_name: HTTP
host_name: web01.example.net
# One service on all hosts
- name: nagios.process_count_status
check_type: service
display_name: Total Processes
# One service on all hosts with extra dimensions
- name: nagios.check_http_status
check_type: service
display_name: HTTP
dimensions: { 'group': 'webservers' }
# All services on all hosts
# These will be assigned metric names automatically, based on display_name
- check_type: service
# One host
- name: nagios.host_status
check_type: host
host_name: web01.example.net
# All hosts
- name: nagios.host_status
check_type: host
```
## Mongo
See [the example configuration](https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/conf.d/mongo.yaml.example) for how to configure the Mongo plugin.
## MySQL Checks
This section describes the mySQL check that can be performed by the Agent. The mySQL check also supports MariaDB. The mySQL check requires a configuration file called mysql.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory.
Sample config: defaults_file: /root/.my.cnf
```
[client]
host=padawan-ccp-c1-m1-mgmt
user=root
password=pass
```
##### Note
Be assured that the password is set properly. As default monasca-agent expects password without quotation marks. Otherwise monasca-setup returns an error about inability to connect to MySQL with given password.
Instance variables can be passed via command line arguments
to the monasca-setup -d mysql command.
The instance config files are built by the detection plugin.
```
init_config:
Example clear connect:
instances:
- built_by: MySQL
name: padawan-ccp-c1-m1-mgmt
pass: secretpass
port: 3306
server: padawan-ccp-c1-m1-mgmt
user: root
Example ssl connect:
instances:
- built_by: MySQL
name: padawan-ccp-c1-m1-mgmt
pass: secretpass
port: 3306
server: padawan-ccp-c1-m1-mgmt
ssl_ca: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
user: root
```
Almost metrics show the server status variables in MySQL or MariaDB. The others are calculated by the server status variables of MySQL or MariaDB. For details of the server status variables, please refer the documents of MySQL or MariaDB.
The mySQL checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| mysql.performance.questions | hostname, mode, service=mysql | Corresponding to "Question" of the server status variable. |

## Nagios Wrapper
The Agent can run Nagios plugins. A YAML file (nagios_wrapper.yaml) contains the list of Nagios checks to run, including the check name, command name with parameters, and desired interval between iterations. A Python script (nagios_wrapper.py) runs each command in turn, captures the resulting exit code (0 through 3, corresponding to OK, warning, critical and unknown), and sends that information to the Forwarder, which then sends the Monitoring API. Currently, the Agent can only send the exit code from a Nagios plugin. Any accompanying text is not sent.
default dimensions:
observer_host: fqdn
target_host: fqdn | supplied
default value_meta
0, 1, 2, 3, 4
OK, Warning, Critical, Unknown
error: error_message
Similar to all plugins, the configuration is done in YAML, and consists of two keys: init_config and instances.
init_config contains global configuration options:
```
init_config:
# Directories where Nagios checks (scripts, programs) may live
check_path: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins:/usr/local/bin/nagios
# Where to store last-run timestamps for each check
temp_file_path: /dev/shm/
```
instances contains the list of checks to run
```
instances:
- service_name: load
check_command: check_load -r -w 2,1.5,1 -c 10,5,4
- service_name: disk
check_command: check_disk -w 15\% -c 5\% -A -i /srv/node
check_interval: 300
```
* service_name is the name of the metric
* check_command is the full command to run. Specifying the full path is optional if the checks are located somewhere in check_path. These above examples are a copy-and-paste from existing service checks in /etc/cron.d/servicecheck-* files, so migration is fairly easy.
* check_interval (optional) If unspecified, the checks will be run at the regular collector interval, which is 60 seconds by default. You may not want to run some checks that frequently, especially if they are resource-intensive, so check_interval lets you force a delay, in seconds, between iterations of that particular check. The state for these are stored in temp_file_path with file names like nagios_wrapper_19fe42bc7cfdc37a2d88684013e66c7b.pck where the hash is an md5sum of the service_name (to accommodate odd characters that the filesystem may not like).
## Nginx
See [the example configuration](https://github.com/openstack/monasca-agent/blob/master/conf.d/nginx.yaml.example) for how to configure the Nginx plugin.
## NTP
This section describes the Network Time Protocol checks that can be performed by the Agent. The NTP checks monitors time offset between NTP server and your own server. The NTP checks requires a configuration file called ntp.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory. The config file must contain the hostname and port number, version information, timeout(These are optional params) that you are interested in monitoring.
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
- host: pool.ntp.org
port: ntp
version: 3
timeout: 5
```
The NTP checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| ntp.offset | hostname, ntp_server | Time offset in seconds |
| ntp.connection_status | hostname, ntp_server | Value of ntp server connection status (0=Healthy) |
## Postfix Checks
This section describes the Postfix checks that can be performed by the Agent. The Postfix checks gathers metrics on the Postfix. The Postfix checks requires a configuration file called postfix.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory. The config file must contain the name, directory and queue that you are interested in monitoring.
NOTE: The user running monasca-agent must have passwordless sudo access for the find command to run the postfix check. Here's an example:
```
example /etc/sudoers entry:
monasca-agent ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/find
```
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
- name: /var/spool/postfix
directory: /var/spool/postfix
queues:
- incoming
- active
- deferred
```
The Postfix return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| postfix.queue_size | queue | A total number of queues |
## PostgreSQL
This section describes the PostgreSQL checks that can be performed by the Agent. The PostgreSQL checks requires a configuration file called postgres.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory.
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
- host: localhost
port: 5432
username: my_username
password: my_password
dbname: db_name
```
If you want to track per-relation (table), you need to add relations keys and specify the list.
```
relations:
- my_table
- my_other_table
```
Each metrics show statistics collected in PostgreSQL. The PostgreSQL checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| postgresql.connections | hostname, db, service=postgres | Value of the "numbackends" of "pg_stat_database". |
| postgresql.commits | hostname, db, service=postgres | Value of the "xact_commit" of "pg_stat_database". |

| postgresql.index_rows_read | hostname, db, service=postgres, table, index | Value of the "idx_tup_read" of "pg_stat_user_indexes" |
## Process Checks
Process checks can be performed to both verify that a set of named processes are running on the local system and collect/send system level metrics on those processes. The YAML file `process.yaml` contains the list of processes that are checked.
The processes that are monitored can be filtered using a pattern to specify the matching process names or distinctly identified by process name or by the username that owns the process.
A Python script `process.py` runs each execution cycle to check that required processes are alive. If the process is running a value of 0 is sent, otherwise a value of 1 is sent to the Monasca API.
Each process entry consists of one primary key: name. Either search_string or username must be set but you can not set both. Optionally, if an exact match on search_string is required the exact_match boolean can be added to the entry and set to True.
To grab more process metrics beside the process.pid_count, which only shows that the process is up and running, the configuration option detailed must be set to true.
Sample monasca-setup:
Monitor by process_names:
```
monasca-setup -d ProcessCheck -json \
'{"process_config":[{"process_names":["monasca-notification","monasca-api"],"dimensions":{"service":"monitoring"}}]}'
```
Monitor by process_username:
```
monasca-setup -d ProcessCheck -json \
'{"process_config":[{"process_username":"dbadmin","dimensions":{"service":"monitoring","component":"vertica"}}]}'
```
Multiple entries in one call:
```
monasca-setup -d ProcessCheck -json \
'{"process_config":[{"process_names":["monasca-notification","monasca-api"],"dimensions":{"service":"monitoring"}},
{"process_names":["elasticsearch"],"dimensions":{"service":"logging"}},
{"process_username":"dbadmin","dimensions":{"service":"monitoring","component":"vertica"}}]}'
```
Using a yaml config file:
```
monasca-setup -d ProcessCheck -a "conf_file_path=/home/stack/myprocess.yaml"
```
Example yaml input file format for process check by process names:
```
---
process_config:
- process_names:
- monasca-notification
- monasca-api
dimensions:
service: monitoring
```
Example yaml input file format for multiple process_names entries:
```
---
process_config:
- process_names:
- monasca-notification
- monasca-api
dimensions:
service: monitoring
- process_names:
- elasticsearch
dimensions:
service: logging
- process_names:
- monasca-thresh
exact_match: 'true'
dimensions:
service: monitoring
component: thresh
```
Sample successfully built process.yaml:
```
init_config: null
instances:
- built_by: ProcessCheck
detailed: true
dimensions:
component: monasca-api
service: monitoring
exact_match: false
name: monasca-api
search_string:
- monasca-api
- built_by: ProcessCheck
detailed: true
dimensions:
component: monasca-notification
service: monitoring
exact_match: false
name: monasca-notification
search_string:
- monasca-notification
- built_by: ProcessCheck
detailed: true
dimensions:
component: vertica
service: monitoring
name: vertica
username: dbadmin
```
The process checks return the following metrics ( if detailed is set to true, otherwise process.pid_count is only returned ):
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| process.mem.rss_mbytes | process_name, service, component | Amount of physical memory allocated to a process, including memory from shared libraries in Mbytes
| process.io.read_count | process_name, service, component | Number of reads by a process
| process.io.write_count | process_name, service, component | Number of writes by a process
| process.io.read_kbytes | process_name, service, component | Kbytes read by a process
| process.io.write_kbytes | process_name, service, component | Kbytes written by a process
| process.thread_count | process_name, service, component | Number of threads a process is using
| process.cpu_perc | process_name, service, component | Percentage of cpu being consumed by a process
| process.open_file_descriptors | process_name, service, component | Number of files being used by a process
| process.pid_count | process_name, service, component | Number of processes that exist with this process name
On Linux, if the Agent is not run as root or the owner of the process the io metrics and the open_file_descriptors metric will fail to be reported if the mon-agent user does not have permission to get it for the process.
## RabbitMQ Checks
This section describes the RabbitMQ check that can be performed by the Agent. The RabbitMQ check gathers metrics on Nodes, Exchanges and Queues from the rabbit server. The RabbitMQ check requires a configuration file called rabbitmq.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory. The config file must contain the names of the Exchanges and Queues that you are interested in monitoring.
NOTE: The agent RabbitMQ plugin requires the RabbitMQ Management Plugin to be installed. The management plugin is included in the RabbitMQ distribution. To enable it, use the rabbitmq-plugins command like this:
```
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
```
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
- exchanges: [nova, cinder, ceilometer, glance, keystone, neutron, heat]
nodes: [rabbit@devstack]
queues: [conductor]
rabbitmq_api_url: http://localhost:15672/api
rabbitmq_user: guest
rabbitmq_pass: guest
```
If you want the monasca-setup program to detect and auto-configure the plugin for you, you must create the file /root/.rabbitmq.cnf with the information needed in the configuration yaml file before running the setup program. It should look something like this:
```
[client]
user=guest
password=pass
nodes=rabbit@devstack
queues=conductor
exchanges=nova,cinder,ceilometer,glance,keystone,neutron,heat
```
For more details of each metric, please refer the [RabbitMQ documentation](http://www.rabbitmq.com/documentation.html).

## WMI Check
## ZooKeeper
This section describes the Zookeeper check that can be performed by the Agent. The Zookeeper check requires a configuration file called zk.yaml to be available in the agent conf.d configuration directory.
The Zookeeper check parses the result of zookeeper's `stat` admin command.
Sample config:
```
init_config:
instances:
host: localhost
port: 2181
timeout: 3
```
The Zookeeper checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| zookeeper.max_latency_sec | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Maximum latency in second |
| zookeeper.min_latency_sec | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Minimum latency in second |
| zookeeper.avg_latency_sec | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Average latency in second |
| zookeeper.out_bytes | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Sent bytes |
| zookeeper.outstanding_bytes | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Outstanding bytes |
| zookeeper.in_bytes | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Received bytes |
| zookeeper.connections_count | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Number of connections |
| zookeeper.node_count | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Number of nodes |
| zookeeper.zxid_count | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Count number |
| zookeeper.zxid_epoch | hostname, mode, service=zookeeper | Epoch number |
## Kibana
This section describes the Kibana check that can be performed by the Agent.
The Kibana check requires a configuration file containing Kibana configuration
(it is the same file Kibana is using).
Check is accessing status endpoint (```curl -XGET http://localhost:5601/api/status```)
of Kibana, which means it can work only with Kibana >= 4.2.x, that was first to introduce
this capability.
Sample config:
```yaml
init_config:
url: http://localhost:5601/api/status
instances:
- built_by: Kibana
metrics:
- heap_size
- heap_used
- load
- req_sec
- resp_time_avg
- resp_time_max
```
The Kibana checks return the following metrics:
| Metric Name | Dimensions | Semantics |
| ----------- | ---------- | --------- |
| kibana.load_avg_1m | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | The average kibana load over a 1 minute period, for more details see [here](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_loadavg) |
| kibana.load_avg_5m | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | The average kibana load over a 5 minutes period, for more details see [here](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_loadavg) |
| kibana.load_avg_15m | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | The average kibana load over a 15 minutes period, for more details see [here](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_loadavg) |
| kibana.heap_size_mb | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | Total heap size in MB |
| kibana.heap_used_mb | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | Used heap size in MB |
| kibana.req_sec | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | Requests per second to Kibana server |
| kibana.resp_time_avg_ms | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | The average response time of Kibana server in ms |
| kibana.resp_time_max_ms | hostnam, version, service=monitoring | The maximum response time of Kibana server in ms |
## OpenStack Monitoring
The `monasca-setup` script when run on a system that is running OpenStack services, configures the Agent to send the following list of metrics:
* The setup program creates process checks for each process that is part of an OpenStack service. A few sample metrics from the process check are provided. For the complete list of process metrics, see the [Process Checks](#Process Checks) section.
* Additionally, an http_status check will be setup on the api for the service, if there is one.
PLEASE NOTE: The monasca-setup program will only install checks for OpenStack services it detects when it is run. If an additional service is added to a particular node or deleted, monasca-setup must be re-run to add monitoring for the additional service or remove the service that is no longer there.
