VerneMQ collector
Overview
VerneMQ is a high-performance, distributed MQTT broker.
This collector monitors one or more VerneMQ instances, depending on your configuration.
Collected metrics
Metrics grouped by scope.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
global
These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
This scope has no labels.

Setup
Prerequisites
No action required.
Configuration
File
The configuration file name is go.d/vernemq.conf.
The file format is YAML. Generally, the format is:
update_every: 1
autodetection_retry: 0
jobs:

You can edit the configuration file using the edit-config script from the
Netdata config directory.
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config go.d/vernemq.conf

Troubleshooting
Debug mode
To troubleshoot issues with the vernemq 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 vernemq
