Tengine

Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: tengine

Overview

This collector monitors Tengine servers.

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 Tengine instance

These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

Metric	Dimensions	Unit
tengine.bandwidth_total	in, out	B/s
tengine.connections_total	accepted	connections/s
tengine.requests_total	processed	requests/s
tengine.requests_per_response_code_family_total	2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, other	requests/s
tengine.requests_per_response_code_detailed_total	200, 206, 302, 304, 403, 404, 419, 499, 500, 502, 503, 504, 508, other	requests/s
tengine.requests_upstream_total	requests	requests/s
tengine.tries_upstream_total	calls	calls/s
tengine.requests_upstream_per_response_code_family_total	4xx, 5xx	requests/s

Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.

Setup

Prerequisites

Enable ngx_http_reqstat_module module.

To enable the module, see the [official documentation](ngx_http_reqstat_module](https://tengine.taobao.org/document/http_reqstat.html). The default line format is the only supported format.

Configuration

File

The configuration file name for this integration is go.d/tengine.conf.

The file format is YAML. Generally, the structure is:

update_every: 1
autodetection_retry: 0
jobs:
  - name: some_name1
  - name: some_name1

You can edit the configuration file using the edit-config script from the Netdata config directory.

cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config go.d/tengine.conf

Options

The following options can be defined globally: update_every, autodetection_retry.

update_every	Data collection frequency.	1	no
autodetection_retry	Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled.	0	no

tls_cert	Client TLS certificate.		no
tls_key	Client TLS key.		no

Multi-instance

Note: When you define multiple jobs, their names must be unique.

Local and remote instances.

jobs:
 - name: local
   url: http://127.0.0.1/us

 - name: remote
   url: http://203.0.113.10/us

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 tengine 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, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins 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 tengine

Getting Logs

If you're encountering problems with the tengine 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 tengine

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 tengine /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 tengine
