Fluentd collector
Fluentd
is an open source data collector for unified logging layer.
This module will monitor one or more Fluentd
servers, depending on your configuration. It gathers metrics from plugin
endpoint provided by in_monitor plugin.
Requirements
fluentd
with enabled monitoring agent
Metrics
All metrics have "fluentd." prefix.
Metric | Scope | Dimensions | Units |
---|---|---|---|
retry_count | global | a dimension per plugin | count |
buffer_queue_length | global | a dimension per plugin | queue_length |
buffer_total_queued_size | global | a dimension per plugin | queued_size |
Configuration
Edit the go.d/fluentd.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the
Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/fluentd.conf
Needs only url
. Here is an example for 2 servers:
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:24220
- name: local_with_filtering
url: http://127.0.0.1:24220
permit_plugin_id: '!monitor_agent !dummy *'
- name: remote
url: http://203.0.113.10:24220
By default this module collects statistics for all plugins. Filter plugins syntax: simple patterns.
For all available options please see module configuration file.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the fluentd
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.d
directory, usually at/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's not the case on your system, opennetdata.conf
and look for theplugins
setting under[directories]
.cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
Switch to the
netdata
user.sudo -u netdata -s
Run the
go.d.plugin
to debug the collector:./go.d.plugin -d -m fluentd
