编写ganglia的客户端发送metrics

ganglia中gmond是负责搜集metrics数据的。gmond被设计为使用UDP搜集metrics数据，可以方便的使用python，脚本，java来发送metrics数据给gmond。这样，gmond上就可以包含除了本身搜集的机器级别的metrics之外的metrics内容。

 

gmond存储的metrics的信息如下：

 

<GANGLIA_XML VERSION="3.6.0" SOURCE="gmond">
<CLUSTER NAME="Yarn_Cluster" LOCALTIME="1397029444" OWNER="apache" LATLONG="unspecified" URL="unspecified">
<HOST NAME="host1" IP="192.168.2.6" TAGS="" REPORTED="1397029434" TN="10" TMAX="20" DMAX="86400" LOCATION="unspecified" GMOND_STARTED="
1395401999">
......

<METRIC NAME="jvm.JvmMetrics.GcTimeMillis" VAL="3730009" TYPE="float" UNITS="" TN="56" TMAX="60" DMAX="0" SLOPE="both">
<EXTRA_DATA>
<EXTRA_ELEMENT NAME="GROUP" VAL="jvm.JvmMetrics"/>
</EXTRA_DATA>
</METRIC>

.......

</HOST>
</CLUSTER>
</GANGLIA_XML>

 

 

可以看出，ganglia中的一个metrics是属于某个集群的某个机器的。它本身的属性有：NAME="jvm.JvmMetrics.GcTimeMillis" VAL="3730009" TYPE="float" UNITS="" TN="56" TMAX="60" DMAX="0" SLOPE="both"。很多属性都是自描述的，不再赘述。

 

其中slope比较重要。它的取值有zero，negative，positive和both。分别代表metrics的值不变，递减，递增和可以增加也可以减少。一般来说可以用both。但是RRD对其他三种数据结构有存储上的优化，所以如果确定值的趋势，可以选用前面的两个。

 

但是选择的时候一定要想清楚。有些值可能在应用运行的时候确实是递增的，但是随着程序的重启，可能又会重新计数，这时候RRD会被这种值扰乱，导致生成的图片也是无意义的。实际工作中，我们使用的hadoop就有一些metrics采取了positive，结果集群一重启就导致这些metrics没法看了。

 

下面是一个简单的java 的GangliaMetricsSender实现：

        }
    }

}

 

 

代码参考了hadoop中向ganglia发送metrics的实现。

其中需要说明一下的是spoof这个属性值。gmond在收到一个metrics之后。如果spoof=true，那么就会采用metrics中执行的hostname和ip作为metrics的hostname和ip，否则，gmond会忽视这两个属性，而是用真正发送这个UDP包的hostname和ip作为metrics的hostname和ip。这是个坑…………

 

当然也有项目完成用java发送metrics到ganglia的功能：https://github.com/ganglia/gmetric4j

但是这个包相当的繁琐。。。其实挺简单的功能被设计的非常复杂。。。可能正是这个原因，hadoop选择自己写而不是依赖这个包吧。。。其实作为客户端，功能非常简单直接：根据参数构造UDP数据包，然后发给指定的gmond(s)。

 

也有项目将jmx整合进入ganglia http://ellios.github.io/blog/2013/04/16/ganglia-java/

楼主你好，我想问问，ganglia的监控数据默认是保持多长时间呢？能不能延长数据的保存时间呢？
