Description
-----------
Arborist is a monitoring toolkit that follows the UNIX philosophy
of small parts and loose coupling for stability, reliability, and
customizability.
This adds various SNMP support to Arborist's monitoring, specifically
for OIDS involving:
- Disk space capacity
- System CPU utilization
- Memory and swap usage
- Running process checks
It tries to provide sane defaults, while allowing fine grained settings
per resource node. Both Windows and UCD-SNMP systems are supported.
Prerequisites
-------------
* Ruby 2.3 or better
* Net-SNMP libraries
Installation
------------
$ gem install arborist-snmp
Configuration
-------------
Global configuration overrides can be added to the Arborist config file,
under the `snmp` key.
The defaults are as follows:
arborist:
snmp:
timeout: 2
retries: 1
community: public
version: 2c
port: 161
batchsize: 25
cpu:
warn_at: 80
disk:
warn_at: 90
include: ~
exclude:
- "^/dev(/.+)?$"
- "^/net(/.+)?$"
- "^/proc$"
- "^/run$"
- "^/sys/"
memory:
physical_warn_at: ~
swap_warn_at: 60
processes:
check: []
The `warn_at` keys imply usage capacity as a percentage. ie: "Warn me
when a disk mount point is at 90 percent utilization."
### Library Options
* **timeout**: How long to wait for an SNMP response, in seconds?
* **retries**: If an error occurs during SNMP communication, try again this many times before giving up.
* **community**: The SNMP community name for reading data.
* **version**: The SNMP protocol version. 1 and 2c are supported.
* **port**: The UDP port SNMP is listening on.
* **batchsize**: How many hosts to gather SNMP data on simultaneously.
### Category Options and Behavior
#### CPU
* **warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when utilization is at or over this percentage.
Utilization takes into account CPU core counts, and uses the 5 minute
load average to calculate a percentage of current CPU use.
2 properties are set on the node. `cpu` contains the detected CPU count
and current utilization. `load` contains the 1, 5, and 15 minute load
averages of the machine.
#### Disk
* **warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when disk capacity is at or over this amount.
You can also set this to a Hash, keyed on mount name, if you want differing
warning values per mount point. A mount point that is at 100% capacity will
be explicity set to `down`, as the resource it represents has been exhausted.
* **include**: String or Array of Strings. If present, only matching mount points are
considered while performing checks. These are treated as regular expressions.
* **exclude**: String or Array of Strings. If present, matching mount point are removed
from evaluation. These are treated as regular expressions.
#### Memory
* **physical_warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when RAM utilization is at or over this percentage.
* **swap_warn_at**: Set the node to a `warning` state when swap utilization is at or over this percentage.
Warnings are only set for swap my default, since that is usually a
better indication of an impending problem.
#### Processes
* **check**: String or Array of Strings. A list of processes to check if running. These are
treated as regular expressions, and include process arguments.
If any process in the list is not found in the process table, the
resource is set to a `down` state.
Examples
--------
In the simplest form, using default behaviors and settings, here's an
example Monitor configuration:
require 'arborist/snmp'
Arborist::Monitor 'cpu load check', :cpu do
every 1.minute
match type: 'resource', category: 'cpu'
exec( Arborist::Monitor::SNMP::CPU )
end
Arborist::Monitor 'partition capacity', :disk do
every 1.minute
match type: 'resource', category: 'disk'
exec( Arborist::Monitor::SNMP::Disk )
end
Arborist::Monitor 'process checks', :proc do
every 1.minute
match type: 'resource', category: 'process'
exec( Arborist::Monitor::SNMP::Process )
end
Arborist::Monitor 'memory', :memory do
every 1.minute
match type: 'resource', category: 'memory'
exec( Arborist::Monitor::SNMP::Memory )
end
Additionally, if you'd like these SNMP monitors to rely on the SNMP
service itself, you can add a UDP check for that.
Arborist::Monitor 'udp service checks', :udp do
every 30.seconds
match type: 'service', protocol: 'udp'
exec( Arborist::Monitor::Socket::UDP )
end
And a default node declaration:
Arborist::Host 'example' do
description 'An example host'
address 'demo.example.com'
resource 'cpu'
resource 'memory'
resource 'disk'
end
All configuration can be overridden from the defaults using the `config`
pragma, per node. Here's a more elaborate example that performs the following:
* All SNMP monitored resources are quieted if the SNMP service itself is unavailable.
* Only monitor specific disk partitions, warning at different capacities .
* Ensure the 'important' processing is running with the '--production' flag.
* Warns at 95% memory utilization OR 10% swap.
-
Arborist::Host 'example' do
description 'An example host'
address 'demo.example.com'
service 'snmp', protocol: 'udp'
resource 'cpu', description: 'machine cpu load' do
depends_on 'example-snmp'
end
resource 'memory', description: 'machine ram and swap' do
depends_on 'example-snmp'
config physical_warn_at: 95, swap_warn_at: 10
end
resource 'disk', description: 'partition capacity' do
depends_on 'example-snmp'
config \
include: [
'^/tmp',
'^/var'
],
warn_at: {
'/tmp' => 50,
'/var' => 80
}
end
resource 'process' do
depends_on 'example-snmp'
config check: 'important --production'
end
end
