Infrastructure Integration ¶

Configuration¶

Configure your fluentd to use a monitor agent and plugin id, for example:

      <source>
  type monitor_agent
  bind 0.0.0.0
  port 24220
</source>
<match test>
  id   plg1
  type forward
  <server>
    host localhost
  </server>
</match>

<match **>
  id   plg2
  type forward
  <server>
    host localhost
  </server>
</match>

Configure the agent by editing /etc/nutanix/epoch-dd-agent/conf.d/fluentd.yamlin the collectors.

Example:

    init_config:
    instances:
        # Every instance requires a `monitor_agent_url`
        # Optional, set `plugin_ids` to monitor a specific scope of plugins.
        -  monitor_agent_url: http://example.com:24220/api/plugins.json
           plugin_ids:
         - plg1
         - plg2
           tags:
         - 'test'
         - 'datacenter:northeast'
        # Optional, set 'tag_by' to specify how to tag metrics. By default, metrics are tagged with `plugin_id`
        -  monitor_agent_url: http://example.com:24220/api/plugins.json
           tag_by: type

Check and make sure that all yaml files are valid with following command:
```
/etc/init.d/epoch-collectors configcheck
```
Restart the Agent using the following command:
```
/etc/init.d/epoch-collectors restart
```
Execute the info command to verify that the integration check has passed:
```
/etc/init.d/epoch-collectors info
```

The output of the info command should contain a section similar to the following:

    Checks

      [...]

      ----------
          - instance #0 [OK]
          - Collected 8 metrics & 0 events
