Ingests log files into Graphite where they can be visualized.

Project description

OVERVIEW

Graphite Log Feeder (GLF) is a generic tool that can parse Grinder log files, extract meaningful data, and forward it to Graphite for visualizing. In theory it will be simple to support many log types: Apache, Scribe, etc. However today the only log parser implementation is for Grinder logs.

There is a similar tool – Logster – which also feeds log data to Graphite. However, Logster only supports realtime log analysis, making it impossible to feed it a log from a few days (or more) in the past.

INSTALLATION

GLF is installed via pip.

pip install graphite_log_feeder

Once pip has installed glf, you will need to generate a sample config file, and edit it to be suitable for your environment.

graphite_log_feeder.py -e

There must be a running installation of Graphite on your network for GLF to forward data to. See the Graphite web site for details on setting up and configuring Graphite

USAGE

(after adjusting the values in your sample config file to be appropriate for your environment)

graphite_log_feeder.py <config_file>

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Java/JMX counters and application-level metrics can be fed to Graphite using the JMXTrans tool:

OS-level metrics (CPU, mem, etc.) can be fed to Graphite via quickstatd or collectd (with graphite plugin)
