This article desribes how to monitor Fluentd.

Fluentd Metrics Monitoring

Fluentd can expose internal metrics via REST API, and works with monitoring tools such as , , etc. Our recommendation is to use Prometheus, since we will be collaborating more in the future under the .

Process Monitoring

Two ruby processes (parent and child) are executed. Please make sure that these processes are running. The example for td-agent is shown below.

/opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/td-agent
  --daemon /var/run/td-agent/td-agent.pid
  --log /var/log/td-agent/td-agent.log

For td-agent on Linux, you can check the process statuses with the following command. Two processes should be shown if there are no issues.

$ ps w -C ruby -C td-agent --no-heading
32342 ?        Sl     0:00 /opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/td-agent --daemon /var/run/td-agent/td-agent.pid --log /var/log/td-agent/td-agent.log
32345 ?        Sl     0:01 /opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/ruby /usr/sbin/td-agent --daemon /var/run/td-agent/td-agent.pid --log /var/log/td-agent/td-agent.log

Port Monitoring

Fluentd opens several ports according to the configuration file. We recommend checking the availability of these ports. The default port settings are shown below:

  • TCP 0.0.0.0 9880 (HTTP by default)

  • TCP 0.0.0.0 24224 (Forward by default)

Debug Port

A debug port for local communication is recommended for trouble shooting. Please note that the configuration below will be required.

<source>
  @type debug_agent
  bind 127.0.0.1
  port 24230
</source>

You can attach the process using the fluent-debug command through dRuby.
