# Export metrics to Graphite providers
You can use the Graphite connector for
the [exporting engine](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md) to archive your agent's
metrics to Graphite providers for long-term storage, further analysis, or correlation with data from other sources.
+## Prerequisites
+
+You have already [installed Netdata](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/edit/master/packaging/installer/README.md) and
+Graphite.
+
## Configuration
-To enable data exporting to a Graphite database, run `./edit-config exporting.conf` in the Netdata configuration
-directory and set the following options:
+Begin by using `edit-config` to open the `exporting.conf` file.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
+sudo ./edit-config exporting.conf
+```
+
+Enable the exporting engine by setting `enabled` to `yes` in the `[exporting:global]` section.
```conf
-[graphite:my_graphite_instance]
+[exporting:global]
+ enabled = yes
+```
+
+Next, configure the connector. Find the `[graphite:my_graphite_instance]` example section and uncomment the line.
+Set the `destination` setting to `localhost:2003`. By default, the Docker image for Graphite listens on port `2003` for
+incoming metrics. If you installed Graphite a different way, you may need to change the port accordingly.
+
+```conf
+[graphite:netdata]
enabled = yes
destination = localhost:2003
+ ...
```
Add `:http` or `:https` modifiers to the connector type if you need to use other than a plaintext protocol. For
@@ -35,7 +45,84 @@ example: `graphite:http:my_graphite_instance`,
password = my_password
```
-The Graphite connector is further configurable using additional settings. See
-the [exporting reference doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md#options) for details.
+The final result for a remote, secured host should be the following:
+
+```conf
+[graphite:https:netdata]
+ enabled = yes
+ username = my_username
+ password = my_password
+ destination = remote_host_url:2003
+ # data source = average
+ # prefix = netdata
+ # hostname = my_hostname
+ # update every = 10
+ # buffer on failures = 10
+ # timeout ms = 20000
+ # send names instead of ids = yes
+ # send charts matching = *
+ # send hosts matching = localhost *
+```
+
+We'll not worry about the [rest of the settings](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md#options)
+ for now. Restart the Agent using `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the
+[appropriate method](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for your
+system, to spin up the exporting engine.
+
+## See and organize Netdata metrics in Graphite
+
+Head back to the Graphite interface again, then click on the **Dashboard** link to get started with Netdata's exported
+metrics. You can also navigate directly to `http://NODE/dashboard`.
+
+Let's switch the interface to help you understand which metrics Netdata is exporting to Graphite. Click on **Dashboard**
+and **Configure UI**, then choose the **Tree** option. Refresh your browser to change the UI.
+
+![Change the Graphite UI](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83798697-77c63500-a659-11ea-8ed5-5e274953c871.png)
+
+You should now see a tree of available contexts, including one that matches the hostname of the Agent exporting metrics.
+In this example, the Agent's hostname is `arcturus`.
+
+Let's add some system CPU charts so you can monitor the long-term health of your system. Click through the tree to find
+**hostname → system → cpu** metrics, then click on the **user** context. A chart with metrics from that context appears
+in the dashboard. Add a few other system CPU charts to flesh things out.
+
+Next, let's combine one or two of these charts. Click and drag one chart onto the other, and wait until the green **Drop
+to merge** dialog appears. Release to merge the charts.
+
+![Merging charts in Graphite](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83817628-1bbfd880-a67a-11ea-81bc-05efc639b6ce.png)
+
+Finally, save your dashboard. Click **Dashboard**, then **Save As**, then choose a name. Your dashboard is now saved.
+
+Of course, this is just the beginning of the customization you can do with Graphite. You can change the time range,
+share your dashboard with others, or use the composer to customize the size and appearance of specific charts. Learn
+more about adding, modifying, and combining graphs in
+the [Graphite docs](https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dashboard.html).
+
+## Monitor the exporting engine
+
+As soon as the exporting engine begins, Netdata begins reporting metrics about the system's health and performance.
+
+![Graphs for monitoring the exporting engine](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83800787-e5c02b80-a65c-11ea-865a-c447d2ce4cbb.png)
+
+You can use these charts to verify that Netdata is properly exporting metrics to Graphite. You can even add these
+exporting charts to your Graphite dashboard!
+
+### Add exporting charts to Netdata Cloud
+
+You can also show these exporting engine metrics on Netdata Cloud. If you don't have an account already,
+go [sign in](https://app.netdata.cloud) and get started for free.
+
+Add more metrics to a War Room's Nodes tab by clicking on the **Add metric** button, then typing `exporting` into the
+context field. Choose the exporting contexts you want to add, then click **Add**. You'll see these charts alongside any
+others you've customized in Netdata Cloud.
+
+![Exporting engine metrics in Netdata Cloud](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/83902769-db139e00-a711-11ea-828e-aa7e32b04c75.png)
+
+## What's next
+What you do with your exported metrics is entirely up to you, but as you might have seen in the Graphite connector
+configuration block, there are many other ways to tweak and customize which metrics you export to Graphite and how
+often.
+For full details about each configuration option and what it does, see
+the [exporting reference guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/README.md).

# Using Netdata with Prometheus
-Prometheus is a distributed monitoring system which offers a very simple setup along with a robust data model. Recently
-Netdata added support for Prometheus. I'm going to quickly show you how to install both Netdata and Prometheus on the
-same server. We can then use Grafana pointed at Prometheus to obtain long term metrics Netdata offers. I'm assuming we
-are starting at a fresh ubuntu shell (whether you'd like to follow along in a VM or a cloud instance is up to you).
-
-## Installing Netdata and Prometheus
-
-### Installing Netdata
-
-There are number of ways to install Netdata according to
-[Installation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/README.md). The suggested way
-of installing the latest Netdata and keep it upgrade automatically.
-
-<!-- candidate for reuse -->
-
-To install Netdata, run the following as your normal user:
-
-<OneLineInstallWget/>
-
-Or, if you have cURL but not wget (such as on macOS):
-
-<OneLineInstallCurl/>
-
-At this point we should have Netdata listening on port 19999. Attempt to take your browser here:
-
-```sh
-http://your.netdata.ip:19999
-```
-
-_(replace `your.netdata.ip` with the IP or hostname of the server running Netdata)_
-
-### Installing Prometheus
-
-In order to install Prometheus we are going to introduce our own systemd startup script along with an example of
-prometheus.yaml configuration. Prometheus needs to be pointed to your server at a specific target url for it to scrape
-Netdata's api. Prometheus is always a pull model meaning Netdata is the passive client within this architecture.
-Prometheus always initiates the connection with Netdata.
-
-#### Download Prometheus
-
-```sh
-cd /tmp && curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/prometheus/prometheus/releases/latest \
-| grep "browser_download_url.*linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
-| cut -d '"' -f 4 \
-| wget -qi -
-```
-
-#### Create prometheus system user
-
-```sh
-sudo useradd -r prometheus
-```
-
-#### Create prometheus directory
-
-```sh
-sudo mkdir /opt/prometheus
-sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /opt/prometheus
-```
-
-#### Untar prometheus directory
-
-```sh
-sudo tar -xvf /tmp/prometheus-*linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /opt/prometheus --strip=1
-```
-
-#### Install prometheus.yml
-
-We will use the following `prometheus.yml` file. Save it at `/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml`.
-
-Make sure to replace `your.netdata.ip` with the IP or hostname of the host running Netdata.
-
-```yaml
-# my global config
-global:
- scrape_interval: 5s # Set the scrape interval to every 5 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
- evaluation_interval: 5s # Evaluate rules every 5 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
- # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).
-
- # Attach these labels to any time series or alerts when communicating with
- # external systems (federation, remote storage, Alertmanager).
- external_labels:
- monitor: 'codelab-monitor'
-
-# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
-rule_files:
-# - "first.rules"
-# - "second.rules"
-
-# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
-# Here it's Prometheus itself.
-scrape_configs:
- # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
- - job_name: 'prometheus'
-
- # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
- # scheme defaults to 'http'.
-
- static_configs:
- - targets: [ '0.0.0.0:9090' ]
-
- - job_name: 'netdata-scrape'
-
- metrics_path: '/api/v1/allmetrics'
- params:
- # format: prometheus | prometheus_all_hosts
- # You can use `prometheus_all_hosts` if you want Prometheus to set the `instance` to your hostname instead of IP
- format: [ prometheus ]
- #
- # sources: as-collected | raw | average | sum | volume
- # default is: average
- #source: [as-collected]
- #
- # server name for this prometheus - the default is the client IP
- # for Netdata to uniquely identify it
- #server: ['prometheus1']
- honor_labels: true
-
- static_configs:
- - targets: [ '{your.netdata.ip}:19999' ]
-```
-
-#### Install nodes.yml
-
-The following is completely optional, it will enable Prometheus to generate alerts from some Netdata sources. Tweak the
-values to your own needs. We will use the following `nodes.yml` file below. Save it at `/opt/prometheus/nodes.yml`, and
-add a _- "nodes.yml"_ entry under the _rule_files:_ section in the example prometheus.yml file above.
-
-```yaml
-groups:
- - name: nodes
-
- rules:
- - alert: node_high_cpu_usage_70
- expr: sum(sum_over_time(netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{dimension=~"(user|system|softirq|irq|guest)"}[10m])) by (job) / sum(count_over_time(netdata_system_cpu_percentage_average{dimension="idle"}[10m])) by (job) > 70
- for: 1m

- summary: CPU alert for container node '{{ $labels.job }}'
-
- - alert: node_high_memory_usage_70
- expr: 100 / sum(netdata_system_ram_MB_average) by (job)
- * sum(netdata_system_ram_MB_average{dimension=~"free|cached"}) by (job) < 30
- for: 1m
- annotations:
- description: '{{ $labels.job }} memory usage is {{ humanize $value}}%.'
- summary: Memory alert for container node '{{ $labels.job }}'
-
- - alert: node_low_root_filesystem_space_20
- expr: 100 / sum(netdata_disk_space_GB_average{family="/"}) by (job)
- * sum(netdata_disk_space_GB_average{family="/",dimension=~"avail|cached"}) by (job) < 20
- for: 1m
- annotations:
- description: '{{ $labels.job }} root filesystem space is {{ humanize $value}}%.'
- summary: Root filesystem alert for container node '{{ $labels.job }}'
-
- - alert: node_root_filesystem_fill_rate_6h
- expr: predict_linear(netdata_disk_space_GB_average{family="/",dimension=~"avail|cached"}[1h], 6 * 3600) < 0
- for: 1h
- labels:
- severity: critical
- annotations:
- description: Container node {{ $labels.job }} root filesystem is going to fill up in 6h.
- summary: Disk fill alert for Swarm node '{{ $labels.job }}'
-```
+Netdata supports exporting metrics to Prometheus in two ways:
-#### Install prometheus.service
+ - You can [configure Prometheus to scrape Netdata metrics](#configure-prometheus-to-scrape-netdata-metrics).
-Save this service file as `/etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service`:
-
-```sh
-[Unit]
-Description=Prometheus Server
-AssertPathExists=/opt/prometheus
-
-[Service]
-Type=simple
-WorkingDirectory=/opt/prometheus
-User=prometheus
-Group=prometheus
-ExecStart=/opt/prometheus/prometheus --config.file=/opt/prometheus/prometheus.yml --log.level=info
-ExecReload=/bin/kill -SIGHUP $MAINPID
-ExecStop=/bin/kill -SIGINT $MAINPID
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-##### Start Prometheus
-
-```sh
-sudo systemctl start prometheus
-sudo systemctl enable prometheus
-```
-
-Prometheus should now start and listen on port 9090. Attempt to head there with your browser.
-
-If everything is working correctly when you fetch `http://your.prometheus.ip:9090` you will see a 'Status' tab. Click
-this and click on 'targets' We should see the Netdata host as a scraped target.
-
----
+ - You can [configure Netdata to push metrics to Prometheus](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/exporting/prometheus/remote_write/README.md)

## Netdata support for Prometheus
-Before explaining the changes, we have to understand the key differences between Netdata and Prometheus.
+Regardless of the methodology, you first need to understand how Netdata structures the metrics it exports to Prometheus
+and the capabilities it provides. The examples provided in this document assume that you will be using Netdata as
+a metrics endpoint, but the concepts apply as well to the remote write API method.

+## Configure Prometheus to scrape Netdata metrics
+
+The following `prometheus.yml` file will scrape all netdata metrics "as collected".
+
+Make sure to replace `your.netdata.ip` with the IP or hostname of the host running Netdata.

+### Prometheus alerts for Netdata metrics
+
+The following is an example of a `nodes.yml` file that will allow Prometheus to generate alerts from some Netdata sources.
+Save it at `/opt/prometheus/nodes.yml`, and add a _- "nodes.yml"_ entry under the _rule_files:_ section in the example prometheus.yml file above.
+
+```yaml
+groups:
+ - name: nodes
