vnx2graphite

vnx tool for pushing server_stats to graphite

build and install

build your crosscompile environment http://dave.cheney.net/2012/09/08/an-introduction-to-cross-compilation-with-go

then do a

go-linux-386 build vnx2graphite.go

because the controlstations are 32-bit OS you have to do a 386 build.

after this just copy the conf, the binary and the shell script to

nasadmin@your-control-station:~/vnx2graphite/

configure

you have to configure four options in the vnx2graphite.conf:

host=<hostname or ipaddress of graphite>
port=<carbon port>
timeout=<timeout in seconds>
basename=<graphite namespace e.g. com.company.your.vnx>

run

if your config and binary are at $HOME/vnx2graphite/ you can use the vnx2graphite wrapper script. It expects that the nasdb is mounted at /nas. Otherwise take it as an example and write your own script.

run the wrapper

$HOME/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh <stats e.g. nfs> <server name e.g. server_2>

periodicly run the wrapper

Use cron to ensure the script will run every minute. If you need it faster just do a loop with sleep but be aware of timeouts. The default timeout for vnx2graphite is 10 seconds.

example /etc/cron.d/vnx2graphite

* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh nfs server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh fs server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh kernel server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh mpfs server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh store server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh rep server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh rpc server_2
* * * * *      nasadmin     /home/nasadmin/vnx2graphite/vnx2graphite.sh snap server_2

environment

I tested this script with the 5300 model and the 5500 model
