Druid Exporter

A Golang based exporter captures druid API metrics as well as JSON emitted metrics and convert them into Prometheus time-series format.

Some of the metrics collections are:-

• Druid's health metrics
• Druid's datasource metrics
• Druid's segment metrics
• Druid's supervisor metrics
• Druid's tasks metrics
• Druid's components metrics like:- broker, historical, ingestion(kafka), coordinator, sys

and many more...

Architecture

Purpose

The aim of creating this druid exporter was to capture all of the metrics that druid exposes or emits. JMX Exporter can be used to obtain JVM based metrics.

You can find examples of JMX exporter metrics here

Supported Features

• Configuration values with flags and environment variables
• HTTP basic auth username and password support
• HTTP TLS support for collecting druid API metrics
• Log level and format control via flags and env variables
• API based metrics and emitted metrics of Druid

Available Options or Flags

See the help page with --help

$ ./druid-exporter --help
usage: druid-exporter [<flags>]

Flags:
      --help                 Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
      --druid.user=""        HTTP basic auth username, EnvVar - DRUID_USER. (Only if it is set)
      --druid.password=""    HTTP basic auth password, EnvVar - DRUID_PASSWORD. (Only if it is set)
      --insecure.tls.verify  Boolean flag to skip TLS verification, EnvVar - INSECURE_TLS_VERIFY.
      --tls.cert=""          A pem encoded certificate file, EnvVar - CERT_FILE. (Only if tls is configured)
      --tls.key=""           A pem encoded key file, EnvVar - CERT_KEY. (Only if tls is configured)
      --tls.ca=""            A pem encoded CA certificate file, EnvVar - CA_CERT_FILE. (Only if tls is configured)
  -d, --druid.uri="http://druid.opstreelabs.in"  
                             URL of druid router or coordinator, EnvVar - DRUID_URL
  -p, --port="8080"          Port to listen druid exporter, EnvVar - PORT. (Default - 8080)
  -l, --log.level="info"     Log level for druid exporter, EnvVar - LOG_LEVEL. (Default: info)
  -f, --log.format="text"    Log format for druid exporter, text or json, EnvVar - LOG_FORMAT. (Default: text)
      --version              Show application version.

Druid Configuration Changes

There are some changes needed in the druid cluster to exploit full capabilities of druid exporter. Druid emits the metrics to different emitters. So, in druid database, we must allow the http emitter.

If you are using the druid properties file you must add this entry to the file common.properties:-

druid.emitter.http.recipientBaseUrl=http://<druid_exporter_url>:<druid_exporter_port>/druid
druid.emitter=http

In case configuration of druid are managed by environment variables:-

druid_emitter_http_recipientBaseUrl=http://<druid_exporter_url>:<druid_exporter_port>/druid
druid_emitter=http

Installation

Druid exporter can be download from release

To run the druid exporter:-

# Export the Druid Coordinator or Router URL
export DRUID_URL="http://druid.opstreelabs.in"
export PORT="8080"

./druid-exporter [<flags>]

Building From Source

Requires 1.13 => go version to compile code from source.

make build-code

Building Docker Image

This druid exporter has support for docker as well. The docker image can simply built by

make build-image

For running the druid exporter from docker image:-

# Execute docker run command
docker run -itd --name druid-exporter -e DRUID_URL="http://druid.opstreelabs.in" \
quay.io/opstree/druid-exporter:latest

Kubernetes Deployment

The Kubernetes deployment and service manifests are present under the manifests directory and you can deploy it on Kubernetes from there.

To deploy it on Kubernetes we need some basic sets of command:-

# Kubernetes deployment creation
kubectl apply -f manifests/deployment.yaml -n my_awesome_druid_namespace

# Kubernetes service creation
kubectl apply -f manifests/service.yaml -n my_awesome_druid_namespace

We recommend to use helm chart for Kubernetes deployment.

# Helm chart deployment
helm upgrade druid-exporter ./helm/ --install --namespace druid \
--set druidURL="http://druid.opstreelabs.in" \
--set druidExporterPort="8080" \
--set logLevel="info" --set logFormat="text" \
--set serviceMonitor.enabled=true --set serviceMonitor.namespace="monitoring"
