VerneMQ
Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: vernemq
Overview
This collector monitors VerneMQ instances.
This collector is supported on all platforms.
This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
Default Behavior
Auto-Detection
This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
Limits
The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
Performance Impact
The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
Metrics
Metrics grouped by scope.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
Per node
These metrics refer to the VerneMQ node.
Labels:
| Label | Description |
|---|---|
| node | The value of this label is identical to the value of the "node" label exposed by VerneMQ. |

Troubleshooting
Debug Mode
Important: Debug mode is not supported for data collection jobs created via the UI using the Dyncfg feature.
To troubleshoot issues with the vernemq collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
Navigate to the
plugins.ddirectory, usually at/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on your system, opennetdata.confand look for thepluginssetting under[directories].cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/Switch to the
netdatauser.sudo -u netdata -sRun the
go.d.pluginto debug the collector:./go.d.plugin -d -m vernemq
Getting Logs
If you're encountering problems with the vernemq collector, follow these steps to retrieve logs and identify potential issues:
- Run the command specific to your system (systemd, non-systemd, or Docker container).
- Examine the output for any warnings or error messages that might indicate issues. These messages should provide clues about the root cause of the problem.
System with systemd
Use the following command to view logs generated since the last Netdata service restart:
journalctl _SYSTEMD_INVOCATION_ID="$(systemctl show --value --property=InvocationID netdata)" --namespace=netdata --grep vernemq
System without systemd
Locate the collector log file, typically at /var/log/netdata/collector.log, and use grep to filter for collector's name:
grep vernemq /var/log/netdata/collector.log
Note: This method shows logs from all restarts. Focus on the latest entries for troubleshooting current issues.
Docker Container
If your Netdata runs in a Docker container named "netdata" (replace if different), use this command:
docker logs netdata 2>&1 | grep vernemq
