Getting Started

A: SPM doesn't use Collectd anymore (since SPM client version 1.30.100). Therefore, we suggest upgrading to latest SPM client version and uninstalling Collectd unless you use it for something else too. In case you still need to install Collectd for some reason (for example, you have to use on one of the older SPM client versions), please see our Collectd Installation instructions. Note that if you have previously installed SPM client while Collectd wasn't installed yet or wasn't running on your system, and now you want to install Collectd to start monitoring OS related stats, you will have to re-run SPM client installer after Collectd is installed and started.

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 /opt/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.

Elasticsearch Monitoring

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