Slave state.json metrics on influxdb

[zorel]

Hello.

I've managed to install satellite on my mesos cluster. Reimann is pushing data in a local influxdb for grafana, but I'd like to push slave state.json.

My riemann config is very simple:

(def inflxdb (graphite {:host "master1" :port 2003}))
(streams
  inflxdb
)

My slave config:

(def mesos-work-dir "/tmp/mesos")
(def settings
  {:satellites [{:host "master1"}]
  :service "mesos/slave/"
)

In influxdb, I see localhost.mesos/* with master info, and the consolidated informations for my frameworks, but no slave informations. Is it possible?

Thanks.

Hey @zorel sorry for the delay! Currently none of the recipes turn the slave's state.json into an event stream. We can make this into a recipe, but if you want to do that right now, I would make a test that polls the state.json and produces a list of riemann events, the kv pairs in the state.json. Let me know if this answers your question!

Hello, thanks for the answer. I'm not familiar with either Satellite, Reimann or clojure, so the cleaner solution will be ok for me.

I guess I will have to take a look at clojure & reimann to see how I can write my own recipes btw.

Happy to help with this! We could schedule some time to chat over irc to go over how to make a test. If that's something you'd find helpful, shoot me an email at [email protected]

I'd be happy to turn this into a recipe. Still sound like a good idea to you @sabraham ?

Absolutely a good idea - note that similar work was done in cache-state https://github.com/twosigma/satellite/blob/master/satellite-slave/src/satellite_slave/mesos/recipes.clj#L21
