Plugin: go.d.plugin Module: pika

Overview

This collector monitors Pika servers.

It collects information and statistics about the server executing the following commands:

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/pika.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/pika.conf

Options

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

Name Description Default Required
update_every Data collection frequency. 5 False
autodetection_retry Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled. 0 False
address Pika server address. redis://@localhost:9221 True
timeout Dial (establishing new connections), read (socket reads) and write (socket writes) timeout in seconds. 1 False
username Username used for authentication. False
password Password used for authentication. False
tls_skip_verify Server certificate chain and hostname validation policy. Controls whether the client performs this check. False False
tls_ca Certificate authority that client use when verifying server certificates. False
tls_cert Client tls certificate. False
tls_key Client tls key. False

Examples

TCP socket

An example configuration.

jobs:
  - name: local
    address: 'redis://@localhost:9221'

TCP socket with password

An example configuration.

jobs:
  - name: local
    address: 'redis://:password@127.0.0.1:9221'

Multi-instance

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

Local and remote instances.

jobs:
  - name: local
    address: 'redis://:password@127.0.0.1:9221'

  - name: remote
    address: 'redis://user:password@203.0.113.0:9221'

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 Pika instance

These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

Metric Dimensions Unit
pika.connections accepted connections
pika.clients connected clients
pika.memory used bytes
pika.connected_replicas connected replicas
pika.commands processed commands/s
pika.commands_calls a dimension per command calls/s
pika.database_strings_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_strings_expires_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_strings_invalid_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_hashes_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_hashes_expires_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_hashes_invalid_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_lists_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_lists_expires_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_lists_invalid_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_zsets_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_zsets_expires_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_zsets_invalid_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_sets_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_sets_expires_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.database_sets_invalid_keys a dimension per database keys
pika.uptime uptime seconds

Alerts

There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.

Troubleshooting

Debug Mode

To troubleshoot issues with the pika 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 pika
