Deprecated in version 1.7: Please use the jolokia2 plugin with the cassandra.conf example configuration.
- context string: Context root used for jolokia url
- servers []string: List of servers with the format "user:passwd@:port"
- metrics []string: List of Jmx paths that identify mbeans attributes
The Cassandra plugin collects Cassandra 3 / JVM metrics exposed as MBean's attributes through jolokia REST endpoint. All metrics are collected for each server configured.
See: https://jolokia.org/ and Cassandra Documentation
Cassandra plugin produces one or more measurements for each metric configured, adding Server's name as host
tag. More than one measurement is generated when querying table metrics with a wildcard for the keyspace or table name.
Given a configuration like:
[[inputs.cassandra]]
context = "/jolokia/read"
servers = [":8778"]
metrics = ["/java.lang:type=Memory/HeapMemoryUsage"]
The collected metrics will be:
javaMemory,host=myHost,mname=HeapMemoryUsage HeapMemoryUsage_committed=1040187392,HeapMemoryUsage_init=1050673152,HeapMemoryUsage_max=1040187392,HeapMemoryUsage_used=368155000 1459551767230567084
Here is a list of metrics that might be useful to monitor your cassandra cluster. This was put together from multiple sources on the web.
