⁠maprobe

Mackerel external probe / aggregate agent.

⁠Description

maprobe is an external probe / aggregate agent with Mackerel⁠.

maprobe agent works as below.

⁠for probes
  1. Fetch hosts information from Mackerel API.
    • Filtered service and role.
  2. For each hosts, execute probes (ping, tcp, http, command).
    • expand place holder in configuration {{ .Host }} as Mackerel host struct⁠.
    • {{ .Host.IPAddress.eth0 }} expand to e.g. 192.168.1.1
  3. Posts host metrics to Mackerel.
  4. Iterates these processes each 60 sec.
⁠for aggregates
  1. Fetch hosts information from Mackerel API.
    • Filtered service and role.
  2. For each hosts, fetch specified host metrics to calculates these metrics by functions.
  3. Post theses aggregated metrics as Mackerel service metrics.
  4. Iterates these processes each 60 sec.

⁠Usage

usage: maprobe [<flags>] <command> [<args> ...]

Flags:
  --help              Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
  --log-level="info"  log level

Commands:
  help [<command>...]
    Show help.

  agent [<flags>]
    Run agent

  once [<flags>]
    Run once

  ping [<flags>] <address>
    Run ping probe

  tcp [<flags>] <host> <port>
    Run TCP probe

  http [<flags>] <url>
    Run HTTP probe
⁠agent / once

MACKEREL_APIKEY environment variable is required.

$ maprobe agent --help
usage: maprobe agent [<flags>]

Run agent

Flags:
      --help              Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
      --log-level="info"  log level
  -c, --config=CONFIG     configuration file path or URL(http|s3)

--config accepts a local file path or URL(http, https or s3 scheme). maprobe checks the config is modified, and reload in run time.

Defaults of --config and --log-level will be overrided from envrionment variables (CONFIG and LOG_LEVEL).

agent runs maprobe forever, once runs maprobe once.

⁠Example Configuration for probes
post_probed_metrics: false   # when false, do not post host metrics to Mackerel. only dump to [info] log.
probes:
  - service: '{{ env "SERVICE" }}'   # expand environment variable
    role: server
    ping:
      address: '{{ .Host.IPAddresses.eth0 }}'

  - service: production
    role: webserver
    http:
      url: 'http://{{ .Host.CustomIdentifier }}/api/healthcheck'
      post: POST
      headers:
        Content-Type: application/json
      body: '{"hello":"world"}'
      expect_pattern: 'ok'

  - service: production
    role: redis
    tcp:
      host: '{{ .Host.IPAddress.eth0 }}'
      port: 6379
      send: "PING\n"
      expect_pattern: "PONG"
      quit: "QUIT\n"
    command:
      command:
        - "mackerel-plugin-redis"
        - "-host={{ .Host.IPAddress.eth0 }}"
        - "-tempfile=/tmp/redis-{{ .Host.ID }}"
⁠Ping

Ping probe sends ICMP ping to the address.

ping:
  address: "192.168.1.1"      # Hostname or IP address (required)
  count: 5                    # Iteration count (default 3)
  timeout: "500ms"            # Timeout to ping response (default 1 sec)
  metric_key_prefix:          # default ping

Ping probe generates the following metrics.

  • ping.count.success (count)
  • ping.count.failure (count)
  • ping.rtt.min (seconds)
  • ping.rtt.max (seconds)
  • ping.rtt.avg (seconds)
⁠TCP

TCP probe connects to host:port by TCP (or TLS).

tcp:
  host: "memcached.example.com" # Hostname or IP Address (required)
  port: 11211                   # Port number (required)
  timeout: 10s                  # Seconds of timeout (default 5)
  send: "VERSION\n"             # String to send to the server
  quit: "QUIT\n"                # String to send server to initiate a clean close of the connection"
  expect_pattern: "^VERSION 1"  # Regexp pattern to expect in server response
  tls: false                    # Use TLS for connection
  no_check_certificate: false   # Do not check certificate
  metric_key_prefix:            # default tcp

TCP probe generates the following metrics.

  • tcp.check.ok (0 or 1)
  • tcp.elapsed.seconds (seconds)
⁠HTTP

HTTP probe sends a HTTP request to url.

http:
  url: "http://example.com/"     # URL
  method: "GET"                  # Method of request (default GET)
  headers:                       # Map of request header
    Foo: "bar"
  body: ""                       # Body of request
  expect_pattern: "ok"           # Regexp pattern to expect in server response
  timeout: 10s                   # Seconds of request timeout (default 15)
  no_check_certificate: false    # Do not check certificate
  metric_key_prefix:             # default http

HTTP probe generates the following metrics.

  • http.check.ok (0 or 1)
  • http.response_time.seconds (seconds)
  • http.status.code (100~)
  • http.content.length (bytes)

When a status code is grather than 400, http.check.ok set to 0.

⁠Command

Command probe executes command which outputs like Mackerel metric plugin.

command:
  command: "/path/to/metric-command -option=foo" # execute command
  timeout: "5s"                      # Seconds of command timeout (default 15)
  graph_defs: true                   # Post graph definitions to Mackerel (default false)

command accepts both a single string value and an array value. If an array value is passed, these are not processed by shell.

command:
  command:
    - "/path/to/metric-command"
    - "-option=foo"
  timeout: "5s"                      # Seconds of command timeout (default 15)
  graph_defs: true                   # Post graph definitions to Mackerel (default false)

Command probe handles command's output as host metric.

When `graph_defs` is true, maprobe runs a command with `MACKEREL_AGENT_PLUGIN_META=1` environment variables and post graph definitions to Mackerel at first time.

If the command does not return a valid graph definitions output, that is ignored.

#### Example of automated cleanup for terminated EC2 instances.

Command probe can run any scripts against for Mackerel hosts.

For example,

```yaml
service: production
role: server
statues:
  - working
  - standby
  - poweroff
command:
  command: 'cleanup.sh {{.Host.ID}} {{index .Host.Meta.Cloud.MetaData "instance-id"}}'

cleanup.sh checks an instance status, retire a Mackerel host when the instance is not exists.

#!/bin/bash
set -u
host_id="$1"
instance_id="$2"
exec 1> /dev/null # dispose stdout
result=$(aws ec2 describe-instance-status --instance-id "${instance_id}" 2>&1)
if [[ $? == 0 ]]; then
  exit
elif [[ $result =~ "InvalidInstanceID.NotFound" ]]; then
   mkr retire --force "${host_id}"
fi
⁠Example Configuration for aggregates
post_aggregated_metrics: false   # when false, do not post service metrics to Mackerel. only dump to [info] log.
aggregates:
  - service: production
    role: app-server
    metrics:
      - name: cpu.user.percentage
        outputs:
          - func: sum
            name: cpu.user.sum_percentage
          - func: avg
            name: cpu.user.avg_percentage
      - name: cpu.idle.percentage
        outputs:
          - func: sum
            name: cpu.idle.sum_percentage
          - func: avg
            name: cpu.idle.avg_percentage

This configuration posts service metrics (for service "production") as below.

  • cpu.user.sum_percentage = sum(cpu.user.percentage) of production:app-server
  • cpu.user.avg_percentage = avg(cpu.user.percentage) of production:app-server
  • cpu.idle.sum_percentage = sum(cpu.idle.percentage) of production:app-server
  • cpu.idle.avg_percentage = avg(cpu.idle.percentage) of production:app-server
⁠functions for aggregates

Following functions are available to aggregate host metrics.

  • sum
  • min / minimum
  • max / maximum
  • avg / average
  • count
