Code Block
<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
languagebash
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: SPM depends on Collectd to display system metrics. If SPM was showing your system metrics in the past and has now stopped, first check if Collectd is still installed and running. Also check suggestions from "I rebooted my server and now I don't see any data in my graphs. What should I check?" If SPM never showed system metrics for your application, it may be that Collectd wasn't installed or running at the time when you installed SPM client. In that case, ensure Collectd is installed and running and after that re-run SPM client installer for your application.

I am using SPM Solr or SPM ES. My Request Rate and Latency charts are empty

A: If other Solr/ES charts are showing the data, it is most likely that there were no requests sent to your Solr/ES in the time range you are looking at. Try sending some queries and see if request rate/latency charts will show them. If they don't, please send us an email to spm-support@sematext.com or contact us in chat.

I registered for SPM more than 5 minutes ago and I don't see ANY of my data / I am getting errors when starting SPM Sender or Monitor, what should I check

...

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.

Elasticsearch Monitoring

Why doesn't the number of documents I see in SPM match the number of documents in my Elasticsearch index
