Introduction

The Monasca Agent is a modern Python monitoring agent for gathering metrics and sending them to the Monasca API. The Agent supports collecting metrics from a variety of sources as follows:

• System metrics such as cpu and memory utilization.

• Nagios plugins. The Monasca Agent can run Nagios plugins and send the status code returned by the plugin as a metric to the Monasca API.

• Statsd. The Monasca Agent supports an integrated Statsd daemon which can be used by applications via a statsd client library.

• Host alive. The Monasca Agent can perform active checks on a host to determine if it is alive using ping (ICMP) or SSH.

• Process checks. The Monasca Agent can check a process and return several metrics on the process such as a number of instances, memory, io and threads.

• Http Endpoint checks. The Monasca Agent can perform active checks on http endpoints by sending an HTTP request to an API.

• Service checks. The Agent can check services such as MySQL, RabbitMQ, and many more.

• OpenStack metrics. The agent can perform checks on OpenStack processes.

• The Agent can automatically detect and setup checks on certain processes and resources.

The Agent is extensible through the configuration of additional plugins, written in Python.
