Beware of start using this influx. I have 80GB db, and I regret using it. I have to move now to storing data in graphite. Collectd has also a plugin for that. Influx cannot downsample properly when having tags I think (still wait for a response to this [0]) What I have understood is that with downsampled data you have to select different source. That means changing / adapting your metrics. I think this is better in graphite Then I have had numerous strange things with influx. Logging format changes out of the blue, I have the impression they do not even have proper release strategy. It is difficult/impossible to do simple arithmetic between results of queries. When I filed an issue for having the home/end buttons work on the console and a option to escape out of the influx shell. They were even replying with it works on macos. As if anyone is ever going to host an influx production environment on macos. Anyway the whole development team there is al in al giving a not professional impression. Totally the opposite of what you will find here at ceph. Maybe it is because of this trendy 'go' language they use. Then the people of timescale did a much better job at using postgress as a backend. So if you only want to get things working quickly without hassle, and see if it is working use influx. Otherwise use .... I cannot advice graphite from experience yet, have to still look at it ;) [0] https://community.influxdata.com/t/how-does-grouping-work-does-it-work/7936/2 -----Original Message----- From: Brent Kennedy Sent: 21 March 2019 02:21 To: 'Reed Dier' Cc: 'ceph-users' Subject: Re: SSD Recovery Settings Lots of good info there, thank you! I tend to get options fatigue when trying to pick out a new system. This should help narrow that focus greatly. -Brent From: Reed Dier <reed.dier@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 12:48 PM To: Brent Kennedy <bkennedy@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: SSD Recovery Settings Grafana <https://grafana.com/> is the web frontend for creating the graphs. InfluxDB <https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/> holds the time series data that Grafana pulls from. To collect data, I am using collectd <https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Ceph> daemons running on each ceph node (mon,mds,osd), as this was my initial way of ingesting metrics. I am also now using the influx plugin in ceph-mgr <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/mgr/influx/> to have ceph-mgr directly report statistics to InfluxDB. I know two other popular methods of collecting data are Telegraf <https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/telegraf/> and Prometheus <https://prometheus.io/> , both of which are popular, both of which have ceph-mgr plugins as well here <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/mgr/telegraf/> and here <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/mgr/prometheus/> . Influx Data also has a Grafana like graphing front end Chronograf <https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/chronograf/> , which some prefer to Grafana. Hopefully thats enough to get you headed in the right direction. I would recommend not going down the CollectD path, as the project doesn't move as quickly as Telegraf and Prometheus, and the majority of the metrics I am pulling from these days are provided from the ceph-mgr plugin. Hope that helps, Reed On Mar 20, 2019, at 11:30 AM, Brent Kennedy <bkennedy@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Reed: If you dont mind me asking, what was the graphing tool you had in the post? I am using the ceph health web panel right now but it doesnt go that deep.
