# RiakKV
Plugin: python.d.plugin
Module: riakkv
## Overview
This collector monitors RiakKV metrics about throughput, latency, resources and more.'
This collector reads the database stats from the `/stats` endpoint.
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
If the /stats endpoint is accessible, RiakKV instances on the local host running on port 8098 will be autodetected.
#### 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.
## 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 RiakKV instance
These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
This scope has no labels.

## Setup
### Prerequisites
#### Configure RiakKV to enable /stats endpoint
You can follow the RiakKV configuration reference documentation for how to enable this.
Source : https://docs.riak.com/riak/kv/2.2.3/configuring/reference/#client-interfaces
### Configuration
#### File
The configuration file name for this integration is `python.d/riakkv.conf`.
You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
```bash
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config python.d/riakkv.conf
```
#### Options
There are 2 sections:
* Global variables
* One or more JOBS that can define multiple different instances to monitor.
The following options can be defined globally: priority, penalty, autodetection_retry, update_every, but can also be defined per JOB to override the global values.
Additionally, the following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured inside a JOB definition.
Every configuration JOB starts with a `job_name` value which will appear in the dashboard, unless a `name` parameter is specified.
Config options
| Name | Description | Default | Required |
|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
| update_every | Sets the default data collection frequency. | 5 | no |
| priority | Controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. | 60000 | no |
| autodetection_retry | Sets the job re-check interval in seconds. | 0 | no |
| penalty | Indicates whether to apply penalty to update_every in case of failures. | yes | no |
| url | The url of the server | no | yes |
Config
```yaml
local:
url: 'http://localhost:8098/stats'
remote:
url: 'http://192.0.2.1:8098/stats'
```
