NewTS data performance data collection

This repository contains the configuration to use OpenNMS collecting performance metrics provided through JMX for a Cassandra node with the NewTS schema installed.

Requirements

• Tested with Cassandra 3.11 with NewTS

• OpenNMS Horizon/Meridian

• Java JMX access to the Cassandra node

• Provision your Cassandra nodes into OpenNMS for monitoring

• The config example has OpenNMS installed in /opt/opennms, on Debian/Ubuntu change the path accordingly to /usr/share/opennms

Install data collection configuration

Checkout this repository with git or copy the files manually using the GitHub raw link to download the configuration files.

Install configuration for metrics collection and RRD graph definitions

git clone https://github.com/opennms-config-modules/newts.git
cd cassandra
cp graphs/newts-graph.properties /opt/opennms/etc/snmp-graph.properties.d
cp datacollection/newts.xml /opt/opennms/etc/jmx-datacollection-config.d

Configure Collectd

Add the following lines collectd-configuration.xml in the in the default installed ``example1 package.

Create a new collection service for the NewTS metrics

<service name="JMX-Newts" interval="30000" user-defined="false" status="on">
    <parameter key="port" value="7199"/>
    <parameter key="retry" value="2"/>
    <parameter key="timeout" value="3000"/>
    <parameter key="rrd-base-name" value="jmx-newts"/>
    <parameter key="collection" value="jmx-newts"/>
    <parameter key="thresholding-enabled" value="true"/>
    <parameter key="ds-name" value="jmx-newts"/>
    <parameter key="friendly-name" value="jmx-newts"/>
    <parameter key="protocol" value="rmi"/>
    <parameter key="urlPath" value="/jmxrmi"/>
    <parameter key="factory" value="PASSWORD-CLEAR"/>
    <parameter key="username" value="cassandra"/>
    <parameter key="password" value="cassandra"/>
</service>

<collector service="JMX-Newts" class-name="org.opennms.netmgt.collectd.Jsr160Collector"/>

Restart OpenNMS and provision a service on your nodes IP interface named JMX-Newts.
