Hi all just wanted to share a simple way we use to monitor cassandra internals with zabbix.
We use a minimal http server which reads jmx and shows returns them in a property form. Thats read by zabbix every 30secs. That's started together with cassandra: https://gist.github.com/744761 Output looks something like: d...@caladan[~]$ curl http://b22:9090/jmxexport OperationMode=Normal Load=151.379 ReadOperations=506334 WriteOperations=865867 TotalReadLatencyMicros=6663882635 TotalWriteLatencyMicros=352292885 BytesCompacted=0 BytesTotalInProgress=0 PendingTasks=0 HeapUsed=1153810280 How / what are you monitoring? Best practices someone? Cheers, Daniel Doubleday, smeet.com, Berlin
