Configuration and Usage

Documentation

There are a number of other resources you can review to learn to use this plugin:

Task Manifest Config

In task manifest, the config section of mysql publisher describes how to establish a connection to the MySQL server.

Name Data Type Default Description
hostname string localhost the host of MySQL service
port string 3306 the port number of MySQL service
username string root the name of user
password string root the password of user
database string SNAP_TEST the name of database (use existed or create a new)
tablename string info the name of table (use existed or create a new)

Each connection parameter has a default value, but it can be override by set a value in task manifest (see exemplary task manifest)

Database schema

Metrics are saved in table with following schema:

+---------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field         | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

| source_column | varchar(200) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| key_column    | varchar(200) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| value_column  | varchar(200) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |

Examples

Example of running psutil collector plugin and publishing data to MySQL database.

Set up the Snap framework

Ensure Snap daemon is running:

  • initd: service snap-telemetry start
  • systemd: systemctl start snap-telemetry
  • command line: sudo snapteld -l 1 -t 0 &

Download and load Snap plugins (paths to binary files for Linux/amd64):

$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-publisher-mysql/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-publisher-mysql
$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-collector-psutil/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-collector-psutil
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-publisher-mysql
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-collector-psutil

Create a task manifest (see exemplary tasks), for example psutil-mysql.json with following content:

{
  "version": 1,
  "schedule": {
    "type": "simple",
    "interval": "1s"
  },
  "max-failures": 10,
  "workflow": {
    "collect": {
      "metrics": {
        "/intel/psutil/load/load1": {},
        "/intel/psutil/load/load15": {},
        "/intel/psutil/load/load5": {},
        "/intel/psutil/vm/available": {},
        "/intel/psutil/vm/free": {},
        "/intel/psutil/vm/used": {}
      },
      "process": null,
      "publish": [
        {
          "plugin_name": "mysql",
          "config": {
            "username": "root",
            "password": "root",
            "hostname": "localhost",
            "port": "3306",
            "database": "mydb",
            "tablename": "snap_metrics"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Create a task:

$ snaptel task create -t psutil-mysql.json

Watch created task:

$ snaptel task watch <task_id>

To stop previously created task:

$ snaptel task stop <task_id>

The running task is collecting data and publishing them into MySQL database. The config section of publisher defining a database connection. If such database does not exist, a new one will be created (if a given user has privileges to create a db).
