Zookeeper Metrics via Telegraf
Ship your Zookeeper Metrics via Telegraf to your Logit.io Stack
Configure Telegraf to ship Zookeeper metrics to your Logit.io stacks via Logstash.
Follow this step by step guide to get 'logs' from your system to Logit.io:
Step 1 - Install Telegraf
This integration allows you to configure a Telegraf agent to send your metrics, in multiple formats, to Logit.io.
Telegraf is a flexible server agent equipped with plug-in support, useful for sending metrics and events from data sources like web servers, APIs, application logs, and cloud services.
To ship your metrics to Logit.io, we will integrate the relevant input and outputs.http plug-in into your Telegraf configuration file.
Choose the install for your operating system below to get started:
Windows
wget https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.19.2_windows_amd64.zip
Download and extract to: C:\Program Files\Logitio\telegraf\
Configuration file: C:\Program Files\Logitio\telegraf\
MacOS
brew install telegraf
Configuration file x86_64 Intel: /usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf
Configuration file ARM (Apple Silicon): /opt/homebrew/etc/telegraf.conf
Ubuntu/Debian
wget -q https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive_compat.key
echo '393e8779c89ac8d958f81f942f9ad7fb82a25e133faddaf92e15b16e6ac9ce4c influxdata-archive_compat.key' | sha256sum -c && cat influxdata-archive_compat.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/influxdata-archive_compat.gpg > /dev/null
echo 'deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/influxdata-archive_compat.gpg] https://repos.influxdata.com/debian stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdata.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install telegraf
Configuration file: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
RedHat and CentOS
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/influxdata.repo
[influxdata]
name = InfluxData Repository - Stable
baseurl = https://repos.influxdata.com/stable/\$basearch/main
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey = https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdata-archive_compat.key
EOF
sudo yum install telegraf
Configuration file: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
SLES & openSUSE
zypper ar -f obs://devel:languages:go/ go
zypper in telegraf
Configuration file: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
FreeBSD/PC-BSD
sudo pkg install telegraf
Configuration file: /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
Step 2 - Configure the Telegraf input plugin
The configuration file below is pre-configured to scrape the system metrics from your hosts, add the following code to the configuration file /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
from the previous step.
# Reads 'mntr' stats from one or many zookeeper servers
[[inputs.zookeeper]]
## An array of address to gather stats about. Specify an ip or hostname
## with port. ie localhost:2181, 10.0.0.1:2181, etc.
## If no servers are specified, then localhost is used as the host.
## If no port is specified, 2181 is used
servers = [":2181"]
## Timeout for metric collections from all servers. Minimum timeout is "1s".
# timeout = "5s"
## Float Parsing - the initial implementation forced any value unable to be
## parsed as an int to be a string. Setting this to "float" will attempt to
## parse float values as floats and not strings. This would break existing
## metrics and may cause issues if a value switches between a float and int.
# parse_floats = "string"
## Optional TLS Config
# enable_tls = false
# tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
# tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
# tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
## If false, skip chain & host verification
# insecure_skip_verify = true
Step 3 - Configure the output plugin
Once you have generated the configuration file, you need to set up the output plug-in to allow Telegraf to transmit your data to Logit.io in Prometheus format. This can be accomplished by incorporating the following code into your configuration file:
[[outputs.http]]
url = "https://<your-metrics-username>:<your-metrics-password>@<your-metrics-stack-id>-vm.logit.io:0/api/v1/write"
data_format = "prometheusremotewrite"
[outputs.http.headers]
Content-Type = "application/x-protobuf"
Content-Encoding = "snappy"
Step 4 - Start Telegraf
Windows
telegraf.exe --service start
MacOS
telegraf --config telegraf.conf
Linux
sudo service telegraf start
for systemd installations
systemctl start telegraf
Step 5 - View your metrics
Data should now have been sent to your Stack.
If you don't see metrics take a look at How to diagnose no data in Stack below for how to diagnose common issues.

Step 7 - Telegraf Zookeeper metrics Overview
ZooKeeper is a reliable and high-performance coordination service for distributed applications. Its ability to provide robust, distributed coordination is pivotal in distributed systems. To maximize its capabilities, effective ZooKeeper monitoring and analysis are crucial. Telegraf, an open-source server monitoring agent, serves as the ideal tool for collecting ZooKeeper metrics and data across various sources, including the ZooKeeper ensemble, operating systems, and databases.
Telegraf's extensive range of plugins allows for comprehensive ZooKeeper monitoring. It gathers a wide array of ZooKeeper metrics, such as outstanding requests, server state, followers, syncs, and connection counts. These metrics are vital in understanding the health and performance of the ZooKeeper ensemble, enabling organizations to enhance their distributed coordination.
Prometheus, an advanced open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit, is the preferred choice for storing and analyzing the collected ZooKeeper metrics. With its flexible query language and data visualization capabilities, Prometheus facilitates deep insights into ZooKeeper operations. By configuring Telegraf to convert ZooKeeper metrics into the Prometheus format, and setting up Prometheus to scrape these metrics from the Telegraf server, seamless integration is ensured.
By using Telegraf for ZooKeeper monitoring and shipping those metrics to Prometheus, businesses establish a reliable and efficient distributed coordination metrics management solution. This process empowers them to closely monitor ZooKeeper performance, optimize their distributed systems, and make informed, data-driven decisions to ensure optimal system health and performance.
