<Plugin csv> DataDir /opt/spm/collectd/logs StoreRates true </Plugin> |
If you are already using Collectd and if the DataDir is already pointed to some other directory, simply symlink the /spm/collectd/logs directory to the directory specified in DataDir, like this:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

sudo mkdir -p /opt/spm/collectd # if needed sudo ln -s /some/existing/collectd/data/dir /spm/collectd/logs |
You will also have to merge the remaining part of the Collectd config required by SPM.Is there a Chef Recipe for the SPM client

A: Filters have 1 day granularity, which means that a server will be listed under Hosts filter until 24 hours since it last sent data have passed. For example, if a server stopped sending data at 1 PM and if at 8 PM you are looking at the last 6 hours of data (for a period from 2 PM until 8 PM) you will not see data from this server on the graph, but you will still see this server listed under the Hosts filter until 1 PM on the following day. After 1 PM on the following day this server should disappear from the Hosts filter.
I rebooted my server and now I don't see any data in my graphs. What should I check

I am using SPM for Solr and I don't see any data on Solr and JVM reports, what is the problem
A: You should probably enable JMX in your Solr. Add or uncomment the <jmx /> directive in solrconfig.xml and restart Solr. See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrJmx for more info.
I am using SPM for Solr and I don't see any data only in Solr Components or Errors reports, what should I do
A: Most likely you are using standalone variant of Solr monitor. In that case, SPM monitor can't collect metrics which are available only when running in-process. If so, switch to in-process (javaagent) version of SPM monitor.
