Timeseries RRD

Overview Copied

Opsview Timeseries RRD (opsview-timeseries-rrd) provides a Timeseries storage framework. It consists of dedicated RRD Updaters and RRD Queries processes to maximize the throughput.

Note

This cannot be installed at the same time as opsview-timeseries-influxdb.

RRD Updaters Copied

Opsview Timeseries RRD Updaters launch master management process that binds to the configured ports and launches that many worker processes each responsible for handling the requests for given port. That provides the guarantee that the data sent from Opsview Timeseries Enqueuer for given host is handled by single process only, thus removes the risk of processing the data out of order. The metadata (including the uoms) is stored in the SQlite3 database.

RRD Queries Copied

Opsview Timeseries RRD Queries provide a way of querying the gathered performance metrics and listing them.

Dependencies Copied

Opsview Timeseries RRD can be installed on any supported platform. To reduce network traffic it is recommended to install it on the same host as the Opsview Timeseries Enqueuer component.

Installation Copied

Refer to Advanced Automated Installation.

Configuration Copied

If opsview-timeseries-rrd was installed on other then Opsview Timeseries or Timeseries Enqueuer host, you need to update the /opt/opsview/timeseriesrrd/etc/timeseriesrrd.yaml file to listen other then loopback interface.


timeseriesrrd:
    server:
        # username and password for HTTP Basic authorization
        user: opsview
        password: opsview
        # Updater that receives the metrics data
        updates:
            # IP to listen on, use 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces - needs to be reachable by Opsview Timeseries Enqueuer
            host: 127.0.0.1
            # ports used by each worker
            workers:
