OpenTSDB Sender

Description

The OpenTSDB sender sends metrics from 1Gateway into a OpenTSDB. If configured, OpenTSDB sends the messages it receives to Grafana.

Prerequisites

To integrate OpenTSDB with 1Gateway, make these changes in the OpenTSDB configuration.

Set JAVA_HOME 

sudo su

vi /root/.bash_profile

Add the JAVA_HOME to the file

export JAVA_HOME=<JAVA_HOME_PATH>

Run following command to apply changes

su -

echo JAVA_HOME

Restart hbase

Make sure that the echo response is the JAVA_HOME path set.

grep hbase

Stop opentsdb and hbase (depends on hbase)

kill XXXX (opentsdb process number)

/opt/hbase_1.2.6/bin/stop_hbase.sh

Start hbase

/opt/hbase_1.2.6/bin/start_hbase.sh

Change OpenTSDB configuration

Change opentsdb to run as a service. Go to /etc/opentsdb and change configuration

vi opentsdb.conf

Set the auto_create_metrics to true

tsd.core.auto_create_metrics = true

Start OpenTSDB

If it's running as a service:

service opentsdb start

If it is not running as a service:

cd opentsdb/build

make install

Check if the changed made to the configuration are applied: http://localhost:4242/api/config
