Input and output integration overview
This input plugin gathers metrics from Mesos.
Telegraf’s SQL output plugin stores metrics in an SQL database by creating tables dynamically for each metric type. When configured for SQLite, it utilizes a file-based DSN and a minimal SQL schema tailored for lightweight, embedded database usage.
Integration details
Mesos
The Mesos plugin for Telegraf is designed to collect and report metrics from Apache Mesos clusters, which is essential for monitoring and observability in container orchestration and resource management. Mesos, known for its scalability and ability to manage diverse workloads, generates various metrics about resource usage, tasks, frameworks, and overall system performance. By utilizing this plugin, users can track the health and efficiency of their Mesos clusters, gather insights into resource distribution, and ensure that applications receive the necessary resources in a timely manner. The configuration allows users to specify the relevant Mesos master’s details, along with the desired metric groups to collect, making it adaptable to different deployments and monitoring needs. Overall, this plugin integrates seamlessly within the Telegraf collection pipeline, supporting detailed observability for cloud-native environments.
SQLite
The SQL output plugin writes Telegraf metrics to an SQL database using a dynamic schema where each metric type corresponds to a table. For SQLite, the plugin uses the modernc.org/sqlite driver and requires a DSN in the format of a file URI (e.g., ‘file:/path/to/telegraf.db?cache=shared’). This configuration leverages standard ANSI SQL for table creation and data insertion, ensuring compatibility with SQLite’s capabilities.
Configuration
Mesos
[[inputs.mesos]]
## Timeout, in ms.
timeout = 100
## A list of Mesos masters.
masters = ["http://localhost:5050"]
## Master metrics groups to be collected, by default, all enabled.
master_collections = [
"resources",
"master",
"system",
"agents",
"frameworks",
"framework_offers",
"tasks",
"messages",
"evqueue",
"registrar",
"allocator",
]
## A list of Mesos slaves, default is []
# slaves = []
## Slave metrics groups to be collected, by default, all enabled.
# slave_collections = [
# "resources",
# "agent",
# "system",
# "executors",
# "tasks",
# "messages",
# ]
## Optional TLS Config
# tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = false
SQLite
[[outputs.sql]]
## Database driver
## Valid options: mssql (Microsoft SQL Server), mysql (MySQL), pgx (Postgres),
## sqlite (SQLite3), snowflake (snowflake.com), clickhouse (ClickHouse)
driver = "sqlite"
## Data source name
## For SQLite, the DSN is a filename or URL with the scheme "file:".
## Example: "file:/path/to/telegraf.db?cache=shared"
data_source_name = "file:/path/to/telegraf.db?cache=shared"
## Timestamp column name
timestamp_column = "timestamp"
## Table creation template
## Available template variables:
## {TABLE} - table name as a quoted identifier
## {TABLELITERAL} - table name as a quoted string literal
## {COLUMNS} - column definitions (list of quoted identifiers and types)
table_template = "CREATE TABLE {TABLE} ({COLUMNS})"
## Table existence check template
## Available template variables:
## {TABLE} - table name as a quoted identifier
table_exists_template = "SELECT 1 FROM {TABLE} LIMIT 1"
## Initialization SQL (optional)
init_sql = ""
## Maximum amount of time a connection may be idle. "0s" means connections are never closed due to idle time.
connection_max_idle_time = "0s"
## Maximum amount of time a connection may be reused. "0s" means connections are never closed due to age.
connection_max_lifetime = "0s"
## Maximum number of connections in the idle connection pool. 0 means unlimited.
connection_max_idle = 2
## Maximum number of open connections to the database. 0 means unlimited.
connection_max_open = 0
## Metric type to SQL type conversion
## The values on the left are the data types Telegraf has and the values on the right are the SQL types used when writing to SQLite.
#[outputs.sql.convert]
# integer = "INT"
# real = "DOUBLE"
# text = "TEXT"
# timestamp = "TIMESTAMP"
# defaultvalue = "TEXT"
# unsigned = "UNSIGNED"
# bool = "BOOL"

Mesos
-
Resource Utilization Monitoring: Use the Mesos plugin to continually monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage across your Mesos cluster. For a rapidly scaling application, tracking these metrics helps ensure that resources are dynamically allocated according to workloads, preventing bottlenecks and optimizing performance.
-
Framework Performance Analysis: Integrate this plugin to measure the performance of different frameworks running on Mesos. By comparing active frameworks and their task success rates, you can identify which frameworks provide the best resource efficiency or may require optimization.
-
Alerts for System Health: Set up alerts based on metrics collected by the Mesos plugin to notify engineering teams when resource utilization exceeds key thresholds or when specific tasks fail. This allows for proactive intervention and maintenance before critical failures occur.
-
Capacity Planning: Utilize gathered metrics to analyze historical resource usage patterns to assist in capacity planning. By understanding peak loads and resource utilization trends, teams can make informed decisions on scaling infrastructure and deploying additional resources as needed.
SQLite
- Local Monitoring Storage: Configure the plugin to write metrics to a local SQLite database file. This is ideal for lightweight deployments where setting up a full-scale database server is not required.
- Embedded Applications: Use SQLite as the backend for applications embedded in edge devices, benefiting from its file-based architecture and minimal resource requirements.
- Quick Setup for Testing: Leverage SQLite’s ease of use to quickly set up a testing environment for Telegraf metrics collection without the need for external database services.
- Custom Schema Management: Adjust the table creation templates to predefine your schema if you require specific column types or indexes, ensuring compatibility with your application’s needs.
