BeamMonitoring

This folder contains resources required to deploy the Beam metrics stack.

There are two types of metrics in Beam:

Community metrics. The stack includes:
- Python scripts for ingesting data from sources (Jenkins, JIRA, GitHub)
- Postgres analytics database
Test Results, i.e. metrics published by tests (IO Performance tests, Load tests and Nexmark tests). Beam uses InfluxDB time series database to store test metrics.

Both types of metrics are presented in Grafana dashboard available here.

Both stacks can be deployed on your local machine.

All components run within Docker containers. These are composed together via docker-compose for local hosting, and Kubernetes for the production instance on GCP.

Local setup

Docker Compose is used to host the full metrics stack on your local machine.

# Install docker-compose

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose


# start docker service if it is not running already
sudo service docker start

# Build images required for spinning up docker-compose

docker-compose build

# Spinup docker-compose related containers.
docker-compose up

After running these commands, you can access the services running on your local machine:

Grafana: http://localhost:3000
Postgres DB: localhost:5432
InfluxDB: http://localhost:8086

If you're deploying for the first time on your machine, follow the wiki instructions on how to manually configure Grafana.

Grafana, Postgres and InfluxDB containers persist data to Docker volumes, which will be restored on subsequent runs. To start from a clean state, you must also wipe out these volumes. (List volumes via docker volume ls)

Kubernetes setup

Kubernetes deployment instructions are maintained in the wiki:
