Monitoring Apache IoTDB Database

Monitor the running status of the Apache IoTDB Internet of Things time series database (JVM-related), memory task clusters and other related Metrics.

Operation before monitoring

You need to enable the metrics function in IoTDB, which will provide interface data in the form of prometheus metrics.

To enable the metrics function, refer to Official Documentation

The main steps are as follows:

1. The metric collection is disabled by default, you need to modify the parameters in conf/iotdb-metric.yml first, then restart the server

# Whether to start the monitoring module, the default is false
enableMetric: true

# Whether to enable operation delay statistics
enablePerformanceStat: false

# Data provision method, externally provide metrics data through jmx and prometheus protocol, optional parameters: [JMX, PROMETHEUS, IOTDB], IOTDB is closed by default.
metricReporterList:
   - JMX
   - PROMETHEUS

# The metric architecture used at the bottom layer, optional parameters: [MICROMETER, DROPWIZARD]
monitorType: MICROMETER

# Initialize the level of the metric, optional parameters: [CORE, IMPORTANT, NORMAL, ALL]
metricLevel: IMPORTANT

# Predefined metrics set, optional parameters: [JVM, LOGBACK, FILE, PROCESS, SYSTEM]
predefinedMetrics:
   - JVM
   - FILE

2. Restart IoTDB, open a browser or use curl to access http://servier_ip:9091/metrics, and you can see the metric data.

3. Add the corresponding IoTDB monitoring in HertzBeat.
