pcp2elasticsearch is a customizable performance metrics exporter
tool from PCP to Elasticsearch. Any available performance
metric, live or archived, system and/or application, can be
selected for exporting using either command line arguments or a
configuration file.
pcp2elasticsearch is a close relative of pmrep(1). Refer to
pmrep(1) for the metricspec description accepted on
pcp2elasticsearch command line. See pmrep.conf(5) for
description of the pcp2elasticsearch.conf configuration file
syntax. This page describes pcp2elasticsearch specific options
and configuration file differences with pmrep.conf(5). pmrep(1)
also lists some usage examples of which most are applicable with
pcp2elasticsearch as well.
Only the command line options listed on this page are supported,
other options available for pmrep(1) are not supported.
Options via environment values (see pmGetOptions(3)) override the
corresponding built-in default values (if any). Configuration
file options override the corresponding environment variables (if
any). Command line options override the corresponding
configuration file options (if any).
pcp2elasticsearch uses a configuration file with syntax described
in pmrep.conf(5). The following options are common with
pmrep.conf: version, source, speclocal, derived, header, globals,
samples, interval, type, type_prefer, ignore_incompat,
names_change, instances, live_filter, rank, limit_filter,
limit_filter_force, invert_filter, predicate, omit_flat,
include_labels, precision, precision_force, count_scale,
count_scale_force, space_scale, space_scale_force, time_scale,
time_scale_force. The rest of the pmrep.conf options are
recognized but ignored for compatibility.
pcp2elasticsearch specific options
es_server (string)
Specify the destination Elasticsearch server metric URL.
Corresponding command line option is -g. Defaults to
http://localhost:9200/ .
es_auth (string)
Specify the user name to use with Elasticsearch requests.
Defaults to none.
es_password (string)
Specify the pass word to use with Elasticsearch requests.
Defaults to none.
es_index (string)
Specify the Elasticsearch index for metric names.
Corresponding command line option is -x. Defaults to pcp.
es_hostid (string)
Specify the Elasticsearch host-id for measurements.
Corresponding command line option is -X. Defaults to the
metrics source host.
es_search_type (string)
Specify the Elasticsearch search type for measurements.
Corresponding command line option is -p. Defaults to
pcp-metric.
The available command line options are:
-0 precision, --precision-force=precision
Like -P but this option will override per-metric
specifications.
-4 action, --names-change=action
Specify which action to take on receiving a metric names
change event during sampling. These events occur when a
PMDA discovers new metrics sometime after starting up, and
informs running client tools like pcp2elasticsearch. Valid
values for action are update (refresh metrics being
sampled), ignore (do nothing - the default behaviour) and
abort (exit the program if such an event occurs).
-5, --ignore-unknown
Silently ignore any metric name that cannot be resolved. At
least one metric must be found for the tool to start.
-8 limit, --limit-filter=limit
Limit results to instances with values above/below limit. A
positive integer will include instances with values at or
above the limit in reporting. A negative integer will
include instances with values at or below the limit in
reporting. A value of zero performs no limit filtering.
This option will not override possible per-metric
specifications. See also -J and -N.
-9 limit, --limit-filter-force=limit
Like -8 but this option will override per-metric
specifications.
-a archive, --archive=archive
Performance metric values are retrieved from the set of
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archive files identified by the
archive argument, which is a comma-separated list of names,
each of which may be the base name of an archive or the name
of a directory containing one or more archives.
-A align, --align=align
Force the initial sample to be aligned on the boundary of a
natural time unit align. Refer to PCPIntro(1) for a
complete description of the syntax for align.
--archive-folio=folio
Read metric source archives from the PCP archive folio
created by tools like pmchart(1) or, less often, manually
with mkaf(1).
-b scale, --space-scale=scale
Unit/scale for space (byte) metrics, possible values include
bytes, Kbytes, KB, Mbytes, MB, and so forth. This option
will not override possible per-metric specifications. See
also pmParseUnitsStr(3).
-B scale, --space-scale-force=scale
Like -b but this option will override per-metric
specifications.
-c config, --config=config
Specify the config file or directory to use. In case config
is a directory all files in it ending .conf will be
included. The default is the first found of:
./pcp2elasticsearch.conf, $HOME/.pcp2elasticsearch.conf,
$HOME/pcp/pcp2elasticsearch.conf, and
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pcp2elasticsearch.conf. For details, see
the above section and pmrep.conf(5).
--container=container
Fetch performance metrics from the specified container,
either local or remote (see -h).
-C, --check
Exit before reporting any values, but after parsing the
configuration and metrics and printing possible headers.
--daemonize
Daemonise on startup.
-e derived, --derived=derived
Specify derived performance metrics. If derived starts with
a slash (``/'') or with a dot (``.'') it will be interpreted
as a PCP derived metrics configuration file, otherwise it
will be interpreted as comma- or semicolon-separated derived
metric expressions. For complete description of derived
metrics and PCP derived metrics configuration files see
pmLoadDerivedConfig(3) and pmRegisterDerived(3).
Alternatively, using pmrep.conf(5) configuration syntax
allows defining derived metrics as part of metricsets.
-g URL, --es-host=URL
Destination Elasticsearch server metric URL.
-G, --no-globals
Do not include global metrics in reporting (see
pmrep.conf(5)).
-h host, --host=host
Fetch performance metrics from pmcd(1) on host, rather than
from the default localhost.
-H, --no-header
Do not print any headers.
-i instances, --instances=instances
Retrieve and report only the specified metric instances. By
default all instances, present and future, are reported.
Refer to pmrep(1) for complete description of this option.
-I, --ignore-incompat
Ignore incompatible metrics. By default incompatible
metrics (that is, their type is unsupported or they cannot
be scaled as requested) will cause pcp2elasticsearch to
terminate with an error message. With this option all
incompatible metrics are silently omitted from reporting.
This may be especially useful when requesting non-leaf nodes
of the PMNS tree for reporting.
-j, --live-filter
Perform instance live filtering. This allows capturing all
named instances even if processes are restarted at some
point (unlike without live filtering). Performing live
filtering over a huge number of instances will add some
internal overhead so a bit of user caution is advised. See
also -n.
-J rank, --rank=rank
Limit results to highest/lowest ranked instances of set-
valued metrics. A positive integer will include highest
valued instances in reporting. A negative integer will
include lowest valued instances in reporting. A value of
zero performs no ranking. Ranking does not imply sorting,
see -6. See also -8.
-K spec, --spec-local=spec
When fetching metrics from a local context (see -L), the -K
option may be used to control the DSO PMDAs that should be
made accessible. The spec argument conforms to the syntax
described in pmSpecLocalPMDA(3). More than one -K option
may be used.
-L, --local-PMDA
Use a local context to collect metrics from DSO PMDAs on the
local host without PMCD. See also -K.
-m, --include-labels
Include PCP metric labels in the output.
-n, --invert-filter
Perform ranking before live filtering. By default instance
live filtering (when requested, see -j) happens before
instance ranking (when requested, see -J). With this option
the logic is inverted and ranking happens before live
filtering.
-N predicate, --predicate=predicate
Specify a comma-separated list of predicate filter reference
metrics. By default ranking (see -J) happens for each
metric individually. With predicates, ranking is done only
for the specified predicate metrics. When reporting, rest
of the metrics sharing the same instance domain (see
PCPIntro(1)) as the predicate will include only the
highest/lowest ranking instances of the corresponding
predicate. Ranking does not imply sorting, see -6.
So for example, using proc.memory.rss (resident memory size
of process) as the predicate metric together with
proc.io.total_bytes and mem.util.used as metrics to be
reported, only the processes using most/least (as per -J)
memory will be included when reporting total bytes written
by processes. Since mem.util.used is a single-valued metric
(thus not sharing the same instance domain as the process
related metrics), it will be reported as usual.
-O origin, --origin=origin
When reporting archived metrics, start reporting at origin
within the time window (see -S and -T). Refer to
PCPIntro(1) for a complete description of the syntax for
origin.
-p type, --es-search-type=type
Elasticsearch search type for measurements.
-P precision, --precision=precision
Use precision for numeric non-integer output values. The
default is to use 3 decimal places (when applicable). This
option will not override possible per-metric specifications.
-q scale, --count-scale=scale
Unit/scale for count metrics, possible values include count
x 10^-1, count, count x 10, count x 10^2, and so forth from
10^-8 to 10^7. (These values are currently space-
sensitive.) This option will not override possible per-
metric specifications. See also pmParseUnitsStr(3).
-Q scale, --count-scale-force=scale
Like -q but this option will override per-metric
specifications.
-r, --raw
Output raw metric values, do not convert cumulative counters
to rates. This option will override possible per-metric
specifications.
-R, --raw-prefer
Like -r but this option will not override per-metric
specifications.
-s samples, --samples=samples
The samples argument defines the number of samples to be
retrieved and reported. If samples is 0 or -s is not
specified, pcp2elasticsearch will sample and report
continuously (in real time mode) or until the end of the set
of PCP archives (in archive mode). See also -T.
-S starttime, --start=starttime
When reporting archived metrics, the report will be
restricted to those records logged at or after starttime.
Refer to PCPIntro(1) for a complete description of the
syntax for starttime.
-t interval, --interval=interval
Set the reporting interval to something other than the
default 1 second. The interval argument follows the syntax
described in PCPIntro(1), and in the simplest form may be an
unsigned integer (the implied units in this case are
seconds). See also the -T option.
-T endtime, --finish=endtime
When reporting archived metrics, the report will be
restricted to those records logged before or at endtime.
Refer to PCPIntro(1) for a complete description of the
syntax for endtime.
When used to define the runtime before pcp2elasticsearch
will exit, if no samples is given (see -s) then the number
of reported samples depends on interval (see -t). If
samples is given then interval will be adjusted to allow
reporting of samples during runtime. In case all of -T, -s,
and -t are given, endtime determines the actual time
pcp2elasticsearch will run.
-v, --omit-flat
Report only set-valued metrics with instances (e.g.
disk.dev.read) and omit single-valued ``flat'' metrics
without instances (e.g. kernel.all.sysfork). See -i and
-I.
-V, --version
Display version number and exit.
-x index, --es-index=index
Elasticsearch index for metric names.
-X hostid, --es-hostid=hostid
Elasticsearch hostid for measurements.
-y scale, --time-scale=scale
Unit/scale for time metrics, possible values include
nanosec, ns, microsec, us, millisec, ms, and so forth up to
hour, hr. This option will not override possible per-metric
specifications. See also pmParseUnitsStr(3).
-Y scale, --time-scale-force=scale
Like -y but this option will override per-metric
specifications.
-?, --help
Display usage message and exit.
First, pcp2elasticsearch sends this type definition to
Elasticsearch:
{
"mappings": {
"pcp-metric": {
"properties": {
"@timestamp": {
"type": "date"
},
"host-id": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
The actual metrics data document is similar to this example:
{
"@host-id": "bozo",
"mem": {
"util": {
"used": 4525820,
"free": 3344000
}
},
"@timestamp": 1507637520,
"disk": {
"partitions": {
"@instances": [
{
"read": 1121,
"@id": "sda1"
},
{
"read": 77306,
"@id": "sda2"
},
{
"read": 131,
"@id": "sda3"
}
]
}
}
}
pcp2elasticsearch.conf
pcp2elasticsearch configuration file (see -c)
$PCP_SYSCONF_DIR/pmrep/*.conf
system provided default pmrep configuration files
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each
installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values
for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to
specify an alternative configuration file, as described in
pcp.conf(5).
