Collecting multiple metric attributes values for a single service

Shashank · Sep 26th 2017

I have installed jmx4perl in my Icinga server and deployed jolokia agent on local tomcat server. Below is my configuration.

Code

services.conf
---------------------------------------------------------
apply Service "check_methodserver_heapmemory" {
import "generic-service"
check_command = "check_jmx4perl"
vars.url = "http://localhost:8080/jolokia"
vars.mbean = "java.lang:type=Memory"
vars.attribute = "HeapMemoryUsage"
vars.path = "used"
vars.base = "java.lang:type=Memory/HeapMemoryUsage/max"
vars.warning = "80"
vars.critical = "90"
assign where host.name == NodeName
}
commands.conf
-----------------------------------------------
object CheckCommand "check_jmx4perl" {
import "plugin-check-command"
command = [PluginDir + "/check_jmx4perl"] arguments = {
"-u" = "$url$"
"-m" = "$mbean$"
"-a" = "$attribute$"
"-p" = "$path$"
"-b" = "$base$"
"-w" = "$warning$"
"-c" = "$critical$"
}
}

In this scenario I am collecting metrics with respect to HeapMemoryUsage. What will be approach if I want to collect more metric values like ProcessCpuLoad for the same tomcat server?

Create multiple services and just configure them?

dnsmichi I am writing the data to InfluxDB and creating multiple services creates different measurements. I need to have a single measurement lets say Apache tomcat which should have metrics with respect to HeapMemory, Process Cpu Load, etc

Don't know if the plugin supports that. Check the docs and/or source code.

Apart from that, multiple measurements don't hurt if the InfluxDB query is done right in Grafana, correct?

dnsmichi Initially I want to verify if Icinga 2 supports this feature of defining multiple metrics for a single service
