Using JMX to read DSEFS metrics
DSEFS reports status and performance metrics through JMX in domain com.datastax.bdp:type=dsefs.
dse.yaml
The location of the dse.yaml file depends on the type of installation:| Package installations | /etc/dse/dse.yaml |
| Tarball installations | installation_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml |
DSEFS reports status and performance metrics through JMX in the domain
com.datastax.bdp:type=dsefs. This page describes the classes exposed in
JMX.
Location
Location metrics provide information about each DSEFS location
status. There is one set of Location metrics for each DSEFS
location. Every DataStax Enterprise (DSE) node knows about all locations, so connect
to any node to get the full status of the cluster. The following gauges are
defined:
- directory
- Path to the directory where DSEFS data is stored. This is a constant value configured in dse.yaml
- estFreeSpace
- Estimated amount of free space on the device where the storage directory is
located, in bytes. This value is refreshed periodically, so if you need an
up-to-date value, read the
BlockStore.freeSpacemetric. - estUsedSpace
- Estimated amount of space used by the contents of the storage directory, in
bytes. This value is refreshed periodically, so if you need an up-to-date
value, read the
BlockStore.usedSpacemetric. - minFreeSpace
- Amount of reserved space in bytes. Configured statically in dse.yaml.
- privateAddress
- IP and port of the endpoint for DSEFS internode communication.
- publicAddress
- IP and port of the endpoint for DSEFS clients.
- readOnly
- Returns true if the location is in read-only mode.
- status
- One of the following values:
up,down,unavailable:- If the location is
up, the location is fully operational and this node will attempt to read or write from it. - If the location is
down, the location is on a node that has been gracefully shut down by the administrator and no reads or writes will be attempted. - If the location is
unavailable, this node has problems communicating with that location, and the real status is unknown. This node will check the status periodically.
- If the location is
- storageWeight
- How much data relative to other locations will be stored in this location. This is a static value configured in dse.yaml
BlockStore
BlockStore metrics report how fast and how much data is being
read/written by the data layer of the DSEFS node. They are reported only for the
locations managed by the node to which you connect with JMX. In order to get metrics
information for all the locations in the cluster, you need to indvidually connect to
all nodes with DSEFS.
- blocksDeleted
- How many blocks are deleted, in blocks per second.
- blocksRead
- Read accesses in blocks per second.
- blocksWritten
- Writes in blocks per second.
- bytesDeleted
- How fast data is removed, in bytes per second.
- bytesRead
- How fast data is being read, in bytes per second.
- bytesWritten
- How fast data is written, in bytes per second.
- readErrors
- The total count and rate of read errors (rate in errors per second).
- writeErrors
- The total count and rate of write errors (rate in errors per second).
- directory
- The path to the storage directory of this location.
- freeSpace
- How much space is left on the device in bytes.
- usedSpace
- Estimated amount of space used by this location in bytes.
RestServer
RestServer reports metrics related to the communication layer of
DSEFS, separately for internode traffic and clients. Each set of these metrics is
identified by a scope of the form: listen
address:listen port. By default port
5598 is used for clients, and port 5599 is for internode communication.
- connectionCount
- The current number of open inbound connections.
- connectionRate
- The total rate and count of connections since the server was started.
- requestRate
- The total rate and number of requests, respectively: all,
DELETE,GET,POST, andPUTrequests. Use deleteRate, getRate, postRate, or putRate to obtain requests of a specific type. - downloadBytesRate
- Throughput in bytes per second of the transfer from server to client.
- uploadBytesRate
- Throughput in bytes per second of the transfer from client to server.
- responseTime
- The time that elapses from receiving the full request body to the moment the server starts sending out the response.
- uploadTime
- The time it takes to read the request body from the client.
- downloadTime
- The time that it takes to send the response body to the client.
- errors
- A counter which is increased every time the service handling the request
throws an unexpected error.
errorsis not increased by errors handled by the service logic. For example, file not found errors do not incrementerrors.
CassandraClient
CassandraClient reports metrics related to the communication layer
between DSEFS and the database.
- responseTime
- Tracks the response times of database queries.
- errors
- A counter increased by query execution errors (for example, timeout errors).
