Input and output integration overview
This plugin gathers information about processes running under Supervisor using the XML-RPC API.
The MongoDB Telegraf Plugin enables users to send metrics to a MongoDB database, automatically managing time series collections.
Integration details
Supervisor
The Supervisor plugin for Telegraf is designed to collect metrics about processes managed by the Supervisor process control system using its XML-RPC API. The plugin is able to track various metrics, including process states and uptime, and provides options for configuring which metrics to collect through include or exclude lists. This integration is particularly useful for monitoring applications running under Supervisor, providing insights into their operational status and performance metrics. A minimum tested Supervisor version is 3.3.2, and it is recommended to secure the HTTP server with basic authentication for better security.
MongoDB
This plugin sends metrics to MongoDB and seamlessly integrates with its time series functionality, allowing for automatic creation of collections as time series when they don’t already exist. It requires MongoDB version 5.0 or higher to utilize the time series collections feature, which is vital for efficiently storing and querying time-based data. This plugin enhances the monitoring capabilities by ensuring that all relevant metrics are stored and organized correctly within MongoDB, providing users the ability to leverage MongoDB’s powerful querying and aggregation features for time series analysis.
Configuration
Supervisor
[[inputs.supervisor]]
## Url of supervisor's XML-RPC endpoint if basic auth enabled in supervisor http server,
## than you have to add credentials to url (ex. http://login:pass@localhost:9001/RPC2)
# url="http://localhost:9001/RPC2"
## With settings below you can manage gathering additional information about processes
## If both of them empty, then all additional information will be collected.
## Currently supported supported additional metrics are: pid, rc
# metrics_include = []
# metrics_exclude = ["pid", "rc"]
MongoDB
[[outputs.mongodb]]
# connection string examples for mongodb
dsn = "mongodb://localhost:27017"
# dsn = "mongodb://mongod1:27017,mongod2:27017,mongod3:27017/admin&replicaSet=myReplSet&w=1"
# overrides serverSelectionTimeoutMS in dsn if set
# timeout = "30s"
# default authentication, optional
# authentication = "NONE"
# for SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication
# authentication = "SCRAM"
# username = "root"
# password = "***"
# for x509 certificate authentication
# authentication = "X509"
# tls_ca = "ca.pem"
# tls_key = "client.pem"
# # tls_key_pwd = "changeme" # required for encrypted tls_key
# insecure_skip_verify = false
# database to store measurements and time series collections
# database = "telegraf"
# granularity can be seconds, minutes, or hours.
# configuring this value will be based on your input collection frequency.
# see https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/timeseries-collections/#create-a-time-series-collection
# granularity = "seconds"
# optionally set a TTL to automatically expire documents from the measurement collections.
# ttl = "360h"
Input and output integration examples
Supervisor
-
Centralized Monitoring Dashboard: Implement this plugin to feed Supervisor metrics directly into a centralized monitoring dashboard, allowing teams to visualize the health and performance of their applications in real-time. This integration enables quick identification of issues, helps track service performance over time, and aids in capacity planning based on observed trends.
-
Alerting for Process Failures: Utilize the metrics gathered by the Supervisor plugin to create an alerting mechanism that notifies engineers when critical processes go down or enter a fatal state. By setting thresholds in your monitoring system, teams can respond proactively to potential problems, minimizing downtime and ensuring system reliability.
-
Historical Analysis of Process States: Store the metrics collected over time to analyze process state changes and patterns. By examining historical data, teams can identify recurring issues, track the impact of deployment changes, and optimize resource allocation based on process trends, leading to improved overall system performance.
-
Integration with Incident Management Systems: Configure the Supervisor plugin to automatically send alerts to incident management systems like PagerDuty or OpsGenie when a process reaches a critical state. This integration streamlines the incident response process, ensuring that the right team members are notified promptly and can take action without delay.
MongoDB
-
Dynamic Logging to MongoDB for IoT Devices: Utilize this plugin to collect and store metrics from a fleet of IoT devices in real-time. By sending device logs directly to MongoDB, you can create a centralized database that allows for easy access and querying of health metrics and performance data, enabling proactive maintenance and troubleshooting based on historical trends.
-
Time Series Analysis of Web Traffic: Use the MongoDB Telegraf Plugin to gather and analyze web traffic metrics over time. This application can help you understand peak usage times, user interactions, and behavior patterns, which can guide marketing strategies and infrastructure scaling decisions for improved user experience.
-
Automated Monitoring and Alerting System: Integrate the MongoDB plugin into an automated monitoring system that tracks application performance metrics. With time series collections, you can set up alerts based on specific thresholds, allowing your team to respond to potential issues before they affect users. This proactive management can enhance service reliability and overall performance.
-
Data Retention and TTL Management in Metrics Storage: Leverage the TTL feature for documents within MongoDB collections to auto-expire outdated metrics. This is particularly useful for environments where only recent performance data is relevant, preventing your MongoDB database from becoming cluttered with old metrics and ensuring efficient data management.
