Apache Pulsar collector
Apache Pulsar is an open-source distributed pub-sub messaging system.
This module will monitor one or more Apache Pulsar instances, depending on your configuration.
It collects broker statistics from
the prometheus endpoint.
pulsar module is tested on the following versions:
Metrics
All metrics have "pulsar." prefix.
- topic_* metrics are available when
exposeTopicLevelMetricsInPrometheus is set to true.
- subscription_* and namespace_subscription metrics are available when
exposeTopicLevelMetricsInPrometheus si set to
true.
- replication_* and namespace_replication_* metrics are available when replication is configured
and
replicationMetricsEnabled is set to true

Configuration
Edit the go.d/pulsar.conf configuration file using edit-config from the
Netdata config directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory
sudo ./edit-config go.d/pulsar.conf
Needs only url to server's /metrics endpoint. Here is an example for 2 servers:
jobs:
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/metrics
- name: remote
url: http://203.0.113.10:8080/metrics
For all available options please see
module configuration file.
Topic filtering
By default, module collects data for all topics, but it supports topic filtering. Filtering doesn't exclude a topic
stats from the summary/namespace stats, it only removes the topic from the topic charts.
To check matcher syntax
see matcher documentation.
- name: local
url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/metrics
topic_filter:
includes:
- matcher1
- matcher2
excludes:
- matcher1
- matcher2
Update every
Module default update_every is 60.
Apache Pulsar doesnt expose raw counters, it exposes rate. It counts rates every statsUpdateFrequencyInSecs. Default
value is 60 seconds.
Module update_every should be equal to statsUpdateFrequencyInSecs.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the pulsar collector, run the go.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output
should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
-
Navigate to the plugins.d directory, usually at /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on
your system, open netdata.conf and look for the plugins setting under [directories].
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-
Switch to the netdata user.
sudo -u netdata -s
-
Run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector:
./go.d.plugin -d -m pulsar
