Cacti monitoring of Solr and Tomcat
Is anyone using Cacti to track trends over time in Solr and Tomcat metrics? We have Nagios set up for alerts, but want to track trends over time. I've found a couple of examples online, but none have worked completely for me. I'm looking at this one next: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=12t=19744start=15 It looks promising although it doesn't monitor Solr itself. Suggestions? Thanks, Andy -- Andy Lester = a...@petdance.com = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance
Re: Cacti monitoring of Solr and Tomcat
Hi Andy, My favourite topic ;) See my sig below for SPM for Solr. At my last company we used Cacti but it felt very 1990s almost. Some ppl use zabbix, some graphite, some newrelic, some SPM, some nothing!

SPM looks mighty tasty, but we must have it in-house on our own servers, for monitoring internal dev systems, and we'd like it to be open source. We already have Cacti up and running, but it's possible we could use something else. -- Andy Lester = a...@petdance.com = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance
Re: Cacti monitoring of Solr and Tomcat
We (Chegg) are using New Relic, even for the dev systems. It is pretty good, but only reports averages, when we need median and 90th percentile. Our next step is putting something together with the Metrics server from Coda Hale (http://metrics.codahale.com/) and Graphite (http://graphite.wikidot.com/). This looks far more capable than New Relic, but more work. wunder On Nov 19, 2012, at 12:36 PM, Andy Lester wrote: On Nov 19, 2012, at 1:46 PM, Otis Gospodnetic otis.gospodne...@gmail.com wrote: My favourite topic ;) See my sig below for SPM for Solr.

: Is anyone using Cacti to track trends over time in Solr and Tomcat : metrics? We have Nagios set up for alerts, but want to track trends : over time. A key thing to remember is that all of the stats you can get from solr via HTTP are also available via JMX... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJmx ...so anytime if you have favotire monitoring tool WizWat and you're wondering if anyone has tips on using WizWat to monitor Solr, start by checking if WizWat has any docs on monitoring apps using JMX. -Hoss
