Add a custom metric

Add a custom metric¶

If required, you can add a custom metric, for example, to monitor a third-party software. This section describes how to add a custom metric to Telegraf.

Note

To add a custom metric to a new endpoint, you must first add the new endpoint to Prometheus as described in Add a custom monitoring endpoint.

To add a custom metric to Telegraf:

Edit the telegraf section in the classes/cluster/cluster_name/init.yml file of the Reclass model as required.

Example:

telegraf:
  agent:
    input:
      procstat:
        process:
          memcached:
            exe: memcached
      memcached:
        servers:
          - address: {{ server.bind.address | replace("0.0.0.0", "127.0.0.1") }}
            port: {{ server.bind.port }}

Apply the Telegraf Salt formula:

salt -C 'I@linux:system' state.sls telegraf
