For CPU/mem/GC/etc. you should be able to add this to JAVA_OPTS in flume-env.sh (im not 100% sure hortonworks has this, or that it hasn't been abstracted/pulled into an init script or something)
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=54321 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false IE: JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=54321 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" For tracking events through the pipeline, im not sure if those are in JMX, i don't believe they are, we use the /metrics endpoint flume serves up: [root@ip-172-16-1-119 ec2-user]# curl -s http://localhost:16742/metrics | python -mjson.tool { "CHANNEL.channel1": { "ChannelCapacity": "100000000", "ChannelFillPercentage": "0.0", "ChannelSize": "0", "EventPutAttemptCount": "42355657", "EventPutSuccessCount": "42355657", "EventTakeAttemptCount": "42391346", "EventTakeSuccessCount": "42355657", "StartTime": "1438627774367", "StopTime": "0", "Type": "CHANNEL" }, "SINK.sink1": { "BatchCompleteCount": "423556", "BatchEmptyCount": "35688", "BatchUnderflowCount": "1", "ConnectionClosedCount": "1634", "ConnectionCreatedCount": "1639", "ConnectionFailedCount": "20", "EventDrainAttemptCount": "42355657", "EventDrainSuccessCount": "42355657", "StartTime": "1438627774370", "StopTime": "0", "Type": "SINK" }, "SOURCE.source1": { "AppendAcceptedCount": "0", "AppendBatchAcceptedCount": "423562", "AppendBatchReceivedCount": "423562", "AppendReceivedCount": "0", "EventAcceptedCount": "42355657", "EventReceivedCount": "42355657", "OpenConnectionCount": "0", "StartTime": "1438627774387", "StopTime": "0", "Type": "SOURCE" } } You can poll this, awk/grep/parse/etc. & store values of channelsize or take deltas of event drained success to extrapolate an average throughput Note that flume would need to be started with these properties for /metrics to work: -Dflume.monitoring.type=HTTP -Dflume.monitoring.port=16742 Hope that helps -- Iain Wright This email message is confidential, intended only for the recipient(s) named above and may contain information that is privileged, exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
