## Overview

Cassandra monitoring is a Gateway configuration file that enables monitoring of Cassandra through a set of samplers with customised JMX plug-in settings.

Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source distributed NoSQL database management system that provides scalability and high-availability.

Some of Cassandra's key attributes are:

- **Fault tolerant** - Data is automatically replicated to multiple nodes for fault-tolerance.
- **Decentralized** - There are no single points of failure.
- **Elastic** - Read and write throughput increase linearly as new machines are added, with no downtime or interruption to applications.

It is important to monitor Cassandra performance to identify database slowdowns, interruptions, and take quick and appropriate actions to correct them.

## Intended audience

This guide is intended for users who are setting up, configuring, troubleshooting and maintaining this integration. This is also intended for users who will be using Active Console to monitor data from Cassandra. Once the integration is set up, the samplers providing the dataviews become available to that Gateway.

As a user, you should be familiar with SQL Server or any other database, and with the administration of the Cassandra services.

## Prerequisites

 
 The following requirements must be met before the installation and setup of the template:


 - A machine running the Netprobe must have access to the host where the Cassandra instance is installed and the port Cassandra is listening to.
 - A JMX-enabled Cassandra cluster.
 - Netprobe version 4.6 or higher.
 - Gateway version 4.8 or higher.
 - Cassandra version 3.11.1.


## Installation procedure

 Ensure that you have read and can follow the system requirements prior to installation and setup of this integration template.

1. Download the integration package `geneos-integration-cassandra-<version>.zip` from the [Downloads](https://resources.itrsgroup.com/downloads) site.
2. Open Gateway Setup Editor.
3. In the **Navigation** panel, click **Includes** to create a new file.
4. Enter the location of the file to include in the **Location** field. In this example, it is the `include/CassandraMonitoring.xml`.
5. Update the **Priority** field. This can be any value except `1`. If you input a priority of `1`, the Gateway Setup Editor returns an error.
6. Expand the file location in the **Includes** section.
7. Select **Click to load**.
8. Click **Yes** to load the new Cassandra include file.

10. Click **Managed entities** in the Navigation panel.
11. Add the **Cassandra** type to the Managed Entity section that you will use to monitor Cassandra.
12. Click **Validate current document** ![](https://docscdn.itrsgroup.com/geneos/images/Icons/validate22x22.png "icon") to check your configuration.
13. Click **Save current document** ![](https://docscdn.itrsgroup.com/geneos/images/Icons/save16x16.png "icon") to apply the changes.

### Set up the samplers

These are the pre-configured samplers available to use in `CassandraMonitoring.xml`.

Configure the required fields by referring to the table below:

### Set up the variables

The `CassandraMonitoring.xml` template provides the variables that are set in the **Environments** section:

### Set up the rules

The `CassandraMonitoring-SampleRules.xml` template also provides a separate sample rules that you can use to configure the Gateway Setup Editor.

Your configuration rules must be set in the **Includes** section. In the Navigation panel, click **Rules**.

The table below shows the included rule setup in the configuration file:

## Metrics and dataviews

### Cassandra disk usage

This dataview displays the disk usage-related metrics. Monitoring these node-level metrics are critical to determine if additional nodes are needed:
