VerneMQ

Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: vernemq

Overview

This collector monitors VerneMQ instances.

This collector is supported on all platforms.

This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.

Default Behavior

Auto-Detection

This integration doesn’t support auto-detection.

Limits

The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.

Performance Impact

The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.

Setup

Prerequisites

No action required.

Configuration

File

The configuration file name for this integration is go.d/vernemq.conf.

You can edit the configuration file using the edit-config script from the Netdata config directory.

cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config go.d/vernemq.conf

Options

The following options can be defined globally: update_every, autodetection_retry.

Examples

Basic

An example configuration.

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1:8888/metrics

HTTP authentication

Local instance with basic HTTP authentication.

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1:8888/metrics
    username: username
    password: password

Multi-instance

Note: When you define multiple jobs, their names must be unique.

Local and remote instances.

jobs:
  - name: local
    url: http://127.0.0.1:8888/metrics

  - name: remote
    url: http://203.0.113.10:8888/metrics

Metrics

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per VerneMQ instance

These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.

This scope has no labels.

Troubleshooting

Debug Mode

To troubleshoot issues with the vernemq collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn’t working.

  • Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that’s not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].

    cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
    
  • Switch to the netdata user.

    sudo -u netdata -s
    
  • Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:

    ./go.d.plugin -d -m vernemq
