uWSGI Metrics

To get started first follow the steps below:

• Install metricbeat
• Root access
• Verify the required port is open

Older versions can be found here metricbeat 7, metricbeat 6, metricbeat 5

The configuration file below is pre-configured to send data to your Logit.io Stack via Logstash.

Copy the configuration file below and overwrite the contents of metricbeat.yml.

There are several built in metricbeat modules you can use. To enable the uWSGI module, run the following:

deb/rpm

metricbeat modules list
metricbeat modules enable uwsgi

macOS

./metricbeat modules list
./metricbeat modules enable uwsgi

Windows

PS > .\metricbeat.exe modules enable uwsgi

Each module has its own configuration file where different metricsets can be enabled / disabled. Locate the configuration file for the uWSGI module.

deb/rpm /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/uwsgi.yml

mac/win ~/<EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/modules.d/uwsgi.yml

By default the status metricset is disabled. To enable or disable a metric simply comment or uncomment the line out.

- module: uwsgi
  # metricsets:
   # - status
  period: 10s
  hosts: ["tcp://127.0.0.1:9191"]

This module periodically fetches metrics from uWSGI servers.

Start or restart metricbeat to apply the configuration changes.

Data should now have been sent to your Stack.

The uWSGI metricsets were tested with uWSGI 2.0.15 and are expected to work with all version >= 1.4.9

The uWSGI module comes with predefined Kibana dashboards. To view your dashboards for any of your Logit.io stacks, launch Logs and choose Dashboards.
