Integration of TCollect and OpenTSDB

Integration of TCollect and OpenTSDB
TCollect can be understood as the data collection front-end of OpenTSDB. Tcollect collects monitoring data and sends it to the backend OpenTSDB for storage.
Running instructions:
Before installing TCollect, ensure that OpenTSDB is correctly installed. For the installation process, see: installation and testing of opentsdb-2.0.1 RPM package
Download tcollector

 

Configure tcollector

Modify the tcollector/startstop File

TSD_HOST = localhost # specify the tsd ip address or HostName

TCOLLECTOR_PATH =/usr/hadoop/tcollector

Preparations for first running

When Opentsdb performs data operations, Metric is verified because tcollect needs to create a large number of Metric during the first operation, therefore, during the first running, you can specify that Opentsd runs in -- auto-metric mode. In this mode, metric is automatically created.

./Build/tsdb tsd ---- auto-metric

To ensure the validity of metric, remove the -- auto-metric parameter to start metric for the first time.

Run tcollector

Cd tcollector

./Startstop start
