Hi Guys,

I’m trying to use Sensu -\> RabbitMQ -\> Graphite

I have this working, or almost… the issue I have that each Sensu-client create your own Exchange, into Rabbit and this don’t match with the Carbon…

Into carbon-cache.py I have:

[cache]

LOCAL\_DATA\_DIR = /opt/graphite/storage/whisper

ENABLE\_AMQP = True

AMQP\_VERBOSE = True

AMQP\_HOST = rabbitmq.mgmt-int

AMQP\_PORT = 5672

AMQP\_VHOST = /sensu

AMQP\_USER = sensu

AMQP\_PASSWORD = PASS

AMQP\_EXCHANGE = metrics

AMQP\_METRIC\_NAME\_IN\_BODY = True

Sensu handler:

{

“handlers”: {

“graphite”: {

“type”: “amqp”,

“exchange”: {

“type”: “topic”,

“name”: “metrics”,

“durable”: “true”

},

“mutator”: “only\_check\_output”

}

}

}

And from RabbitMQ side

You can see that METRICS exchange never be created but all this others yes… this come from:

“subscribers”: [“Amazon”]

Definition into VMSTATS check metrics

Some advice will be welcome.

Regards,

Ale

Hi,

create a graphite handler

{

“handlers”: {

“graphite”: {

“type”: “amqp”,

“exchange”: {

“type”: “topic”,

“name”: “metrics”,

“durable”: “true”

},

“mutator”: “only\_check\_output”

}

}

}

and change your checks to use this handler.

i have it working.

Luis,

This is my setup

[root@monitoring-01 sensu]# cat conf.d/handler\_graphite.json

{

“handlers”: {

“graphite”: {

“type”: “amqp”,

“exchange”: {

“type”: “topic”,

“name”: “metrics”,

“durable”: “true”

},

“mutator”: “only\_check\_output”

}

}

}

[root@monitoring-01 sensu]# cat conf.d/metrics\_vmstat.json

{

“checks”: {

“vmstat\_metrics”: {

“type”: “metric”,

“handlers”: [“graphite”],

“command”: “/etc/sensu/plugins/vmstat-metrics.rb --scheme stats.:::name:::”,

“interval”: 60,

“subscribers”: [“Amazon”]

}

}

}

Do you see something wrong in my setup?

thanks

Alejandro

Hi,

your setup seems ok.

i remember i had to run “pip install txAMQP” in graphite server in order for the carbon-cache to work.

Luis,

Can share with me, the carbon.conf and tell me if you have some debug log? I didn’t find the listener.log but I have the Debug in TRUE.

Thanks for any advice, I don’t understand why this does not work.

Thanks,

Alejandro

Ok, guys I found the issue, into Centos 6.3 or similar, if use the version of txAMQP from the repo, is really old, after install this from Pip all start to work perfect!

Sorry if I don’t see this before, just I don’t identify that was different versions from repo vs pip.

Thanks!

Ale
