Cassandra/PrometheusJmxExporter
Appearance
The Prometheus JMX Exporter is a JVM agent that creates an HTTP listener to export MBean metrics for Prometheus.
Source
Wikimedia maintains a Github branch of the repository, with the Maven pom.xml
patched to deploy the jar to archiva.wikimedia.org.
Deployment
The agent is deployed from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/operations/software/prometheus_jmx_exporter via Scap.
Updating the deploy repo
The deploy repository makes use of git-fat to sync the jar file to a working copy from Archiva, as necessary. If you need to deploy a new version of the strategy, the basic steps are:
- Build, and deploy to Archiva with Maven.
$ cat ~/.m2/settings.xml <settings> <servers> <server> <id>wikimedia.releases</id> <username>archiva-deploy</username> <password>PASSWORD_GOES_HERE</password> </server> <server> <id>wikimedia.snapshots</id> <username>archiva-deploy</username> <password>PASSWORD_GOES_HERE</password> </server> </servers> </settings> $ mvn deploy ...
- Update the operations/software/prometheus_jmx_exporter with the jar
$ cp /path/to/exporter/jmx_prometheus_javaagent/target/jmx_prometheus_javaagent-<version>.jar lib/ $ git add lib/jmx_prometheus_javaagent-<version>.jar $ git commit -m 'Adding jmx_prometheus_javaagent-<version>.jar via git-fat'
- Note: Make sure that the jar you add to git is the same one uploaded in #1 (checksums should be matching). See Adding an artifact to your project for additional information.
- Deploy to the Cassandra nodes (see https://doc.wikimedia.org/mw-tools-scap/)
