title: Monitoring with Prometheus menu: main: parent: Recipes

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring server developed under under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Ozone supports Prometheus out of the box. The servers start a prometheus compatible metrics endpoint where all the available hadoop metrics are published in prometheus exporter format.

Prerequisites

1. [Install the and start]({{< ref “RunningViaDocker.md” >}}) an Ozone cluster.
2. Download the prometheus binary.

Monitoring with prometheus

(1) To enable the Prometheus metrics endpoint you need to add a new configuration to the ozone-site.xml file:

  <property>
    <name>hdds.prometheus.endpoint.enabled</name>
    <value>true</value>
  </property>

Note: for Docker compose based pseudo cluster put the OZONE-SITE.XML_hdds.prometheus.endpoint.enabled=true line to the docker-config file.

(2) Restart the Ozone Manager and Storage Container Manager and check the prometheus endpoints:

• http://scm:9874/prom

• http://ozoneManager:9876/prom

(3) Create a prometheus.yaml configuration with the previous endpoints:

global:
  scrape_interval:     15s

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: ozone
    metrics_path: /prom
    static_configs:
     - targets:
        - "scm:9876"
        - "ozoneManager:9874"

(4) Start with prometheus from the directory where you have the prometheus.yaml file:

prometheus

(5) Check the active targets in the prometheus web-ui:

http://localhost:9090/targets

(6) Check any metrics on the prometheus web ui. For example:

http://localhost:9090/graph?g0.range_input=1h&g0.expr=om_metrics_num_key_allocate&g0.tab=1

Note

The ozone distribution contains a ready-to-use, dockerized environment to try out ozone and prometheus. It can be found under compose/ozoneperf directory.

cd compose/ozoneperf
docker-compose up -d
