Nacos monitor guide

Nacos 0.8.0 improves the monitoring system, supporting Nacos operation status monitoring through exposing metrics data access to third-party monitoring system. Currently, prometheus, elastic search and influxdb are supported. The docs introduce how prometheus and grafana monitor Nacos. Here is Nacos grafana monitoring page. You can find out for yourself how to use elastic search and influxdb.

Deploy Nacos cluster to expose metrics data

Deploy the Nacos cluster according to the deploy document

Configure the application. properties file to expose metrics data

  1. management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=*

Access {ip}:8848/nacos/actuator/prometheus to see if metrics data can be accessed

Deploy prometheus to collect Nacos metrics data

Download the Prometheus version you want to install at the address of download prometheus

linux & mac

Decompress prometheus compression package

  1. tar xvfz prometheus-*.tar.gz
  2. cd prometheus-*

Modify configuration file prometheus.yml to collect Nacos metrics data

  1. metrics_path: '/nacos/actuator/prometheus'
  2. static_configs:
  3. - targets: ['{ip1}:8848','{ip2}:8848','{ip3}:8848']

Start prometheus service

  1. ./prometheus --config.file="prometheus.yml"

windows

Download the corresponding version of Windows and decompress it

Modify configuration file prometheus.yml to collect Nacos metrics data

  1. metrics_path: '/nacos/actuator/prometheus'
  2. static_configs:
  3. - targets:['{ip1}:8848','{ip2}:8848','{ip3}:8848']

Start prometheus service

  1. prometheus.exe --config.file=prometheus.yml

By accessing http://{ip}:9090/graph, we can see the data collected by prometheus. By searching nacos_monitor in the search bar, we can find Nacos data to show the success of the data collection. IMAGE

Deploy grafana to graphically display metrics data

Install grafana on the same machine as prometheus, and use yum to install grafana

mac

  1. brew install grafana
  2. brew services start grafana

linux

  1. sudo yum install https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/grafana-releases/release/grafana-5.2.4-1.x86_64.rpm
  2. sudo service grafana-server start

windows

Reference document:http://docs.grafana.org/installation/windows/

Access grafana: http://{ip}:3000

Configuring prometheus data source IMAGE

Import Nacos grafana monitoring template IMAGE

Nacos monitoring is divided into three modules:

  • nacos monitor shows core monitoring items IMAGE
  • nacos detail shows the change curve of index IMAGE
  • nacos alert is alerts about nacos IMAGE

configure grafana alert

When Nacos runs out of order, Grafana can alert the person in charge. Grafana supports a variety of police alert. Mail, DingTalk and webhook are commonly used.

DingTalk alert

Configure DingTalk robots IMAGE

Configure DingTalk robots url IMAGE

Test alert IMAGE

mail alert

Modify defaults.ini configuration file to add mail alerts

  1. #################################### SMTP / Emailing ##########################
  2. [smtp]
  3. enabled = true
  4. host = smtp.126.com:25
  5. user = xxxxxx
  6. password = xxxxx
  7. ;cert_file =
  8. ;key_file =
  9. skip_verify = true
  10. from_address = xxxxxx@126.com
  11. [emails]
  12. ;welcome_email_on_sign_up = false

Nacos-Sync monitor

With the release of Nacos 0.9, Nacos-Sync 0.3 supports metrics monitoring. It can observe the running status of Nacos-Sync service through metrics data, and improve the monitoring capability of Nacos-Sync in production environment. Reference for the Construction of the Overall Monitoring System Nacos Monitoring Manual

grafana monitor Nacos-Sync

The same as Nacos monitoring, Nacos-Sync also provides monitoring templates to import monitoring Nacos-Sync templates

Nacos-Sync monitoring is also divided into three modules:

  • nacos-sync monitor shows core monitoring items monitor
  • nacos-sync detail and alert shows monitoring curves and alarms. detail
