Monitoring Linux Systems With InfluxDB
======

InfluxDB offers very complete query capabilities, and it is also pretty good at storing time series data. In this article I will demonstrate how you can use existing performance collection tools with InfluxDB as the storage for the captured metrics.
### What you will require for this tutorial
* A Docker or [Podman][4] installation, so you can run an instance of InfluxDB; you can also do a bare metal installation, but I won’t cover that here and instead will use a container.
* InfluxDB 2.7.4 or better.
* A Linux distribution. I used Fedora Linux.
* Python3 and [some experience writing scripts][5].
### Running an InfluxDB server from a container
This is maybe the easiest way to get you started; We will use an external volume to persist the data across container reboots and upgrades (please check the container page to see [all the possible options][6]):
```
$ podman pull influxdb:latest
$ podman run --detach --volume /data/influxdb:/var/lib/influxdb --volume /data:/data:rw --name influxdb_raspberrypi --restart always --publish 8086:8086 influxdb:latest --reporting-disabled
$ podman logs --follow influxdb_raspberrypi
```
If you run this container on Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), use option Z when mounting a volume to ensure it receives the correct [SELinux labels][7].
Our running container is called _influxdb_raspberrypi_. The
podman logs
command is used to do a quick check to make sure there are no errors.
### Integration with Prometheus
What is Prometheus?
> Prometheus is an open source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud by ex-Googlers to monitor metrics on their servers and applications.
The InfluxDB website has good documentation that explains [how to integrate Prometheus with InfluxDB][8] as the database backend.
#### Setting up the node-exporter agent
We will run a program called [node-exporter][9], which will be responsible for capturing Linux metrics:
```
$ curl --location --silent --output ~josevnz/Downloads/node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz --fail https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v1.7.0/node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar --directory /opt --extract --verbose --file ~josevnz/Downloads/node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ rm ~/Downloads/node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
To make it easier to start automatically across reboots, we create a systemd unit:
```
$ sudo useradd --system --comment 'Prometheus account' --no-create-home --shell /sbin/nologin prometheus
$ sudo chown -R prometheus /opt/prometheus
$ sudo EDITOR=vi systemctl edit --force --full node_exporter.service
```
And then save the following systemd unit:
```
[Unit]
Description=Node exporter Server
Documentation=https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/node-exporter/
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Restart=always
User=prometheus
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter
ExecStart=/opt/prometheus/node_exporter-1.7.0.linux-amd64/node_exporter $ARGS
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
TimeoutStopSec=20s
SendSIGKILL=no
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Now add basic settings for the exporter
```
$ sudo echo 'ARGS="--web.listen-address=:9100"' > /etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter
```
Then bring it up and make sure it is OK:
```
# Enable the service
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable --now node_exporter.service
$ sudo systemctl status node_exporter.service
● node_exporter.service - Node exporter Server
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/node_exporter.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2023-12-03 07:43:39 EST; 6h ago
Docs: https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/node-exporter/
Main PID: 1624 (node_exporter)
Tasks: 5 (limit: 18743)
Memory: 18.0M

CGroup: /system.slice/node_exporter.service
└─1624 /opt/prometheus/node_exporter-1.5.0.linux-amd64/node_exporter --web.listen-address=:9100
```
Now you can open your browser and go to the machine where node-exporter is running . For example, using curl:
```
$ curl --fail --silent http://dmaf5:9100/metrics # HELP go_gc_duration_seconds A summary of the pause duration of garbage collection cycles. # TYPE go_gc_duration_seconds summary go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0"} 3.228e-05 go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.25"} 3.228e-05 go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.5"} 5.1216e-05 go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="0.75"} 5.1216e-05 go_gc_duration_seconds{quantile="1"} 5.1216e-05 go_gc_duration_seconds_sum 8.3496e-05 go_gc_duration_seconds_count 2 # HELP go_goroutines Number of goroutines that currently exist. # TYPE go_goroutines gauge go_goroutines 8 # HELP go_info Information about the Go environment. # TYPE go_info gauge go_info{version="go1.19.3"} 1
```
#### Connecting Prometheus with node-exporter
Prometheus is in charge of collecting metrics from agents on our Linux machine, like node-exporter, and other servers too!. Time to install it:
```
$ curl --fail --silent --location --output ~/Downloads/prometheus-2.45.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v2.45.1/prometheus-2.45.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz && echo OK|| echo FAIL
$ sudo tar --extract --file --verbose ~josevnz/Downloads/prometheus-2.45.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz sudo chown -R prometheus /opt/prometheus-2.45.1.linux-amd64 rm ~/Downloads/prometheus-2.45.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
Prometheus needs details about where to scrape the data. We define settings like this:
```
$ sudo vi /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yaml
```
Here is the resulting
<em>/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yaml</em>
file:
```
---
global:
scrape_interval: 30s
evaluation_interval: 30s
scrape_timeout: 10s
external_labels:
monitor: 'nunez-family-monitor'
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'node-exporter'
static_configs:
- targets: ['dmaf5.home:9100']
```
I strongly recommend you validate your basic syntax using
yamllint /etc/promethus/prometheus.yaml
.
With your favorite editor (I use vim), you can then define the following systemd unit for it:
```
$ sudo EDITOR=vi systemctl edit --force --full prometheus.service
```
Then add the following:
```
[Unit]
Description=Prometheus Server
Documentation=https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Restart=always
User=prometheus
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter
ExecStart=/opt/prometheus-2.45.1.linux-amd64/prometheus $ARGS
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
TimeoutStopSec=20s
SendSIGKILL=no
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Enable it and check the logs:
```
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable prometheus.service --now
$ sudo systemctl status prometheus.service
● prometheus.service - Prometheus Server
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/prometheus.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

```
We can now check the Prometheus web interface on [http://dmaf5:9090][10] (note that we connect to Prometheus and not node-exporter directly):
![][11]
#### Connecting Prometheus with InfluxDB
Prometheus [cannot talk directly with InfluxDB 2.xx][12], so we need a third component. This is called ‘[Telegraf][13]‘ and we will install it next (several commands shown from download to unpacking):
```
$ curl --location --fail --silent --output ~josevnz/Downloads/telegraf-1.28.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.28.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar --extract --verbose --directory /opt --file ~josevnz/Downloads/telegraf-1.28.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo useradd --system --comment 'Telegraf account' --no-create-home --shell /sbin/nologin telegraf
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/telegraf/
$ sudo touch /etc/default/telegraf /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
$ sudo chown -R telegraf /opt/telegraf-1.28.5 /etc/telegraf /etc/default/telegraf
$ curl --location --fail --silent --output ~josevnz/Downloads/telegraf-1.28.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz https://dl.influxdata.com/telegraf/releases/telegraf-1.28.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar --extract --verbose --directory /opt --file ~josevnz/Downloads/telegraf-1.28.5_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo useradd --system --comment 'Telegraf account' --no-create-home --shell /sbin/nologin telegraf
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/telegraf/
# Empty telegraf.conf, we will put proper contents there soon
$ sudo touch /etc/default/telegraf /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
$ sudo chown -R telegraf /opt/telegraf-1.28.5 /etc/telegraf /etc/default/telegraf
```
I borrowed the systemd unit from [Telegraf][13], and made some changes to it:
```
$ sudo EDITOR=vi systemctl edit --full --force telegraf.service
```
The resulting systemd unit:
```
[Unit]

```
Telegraf can scrape data **directly** from Node exporter without talking to Prometheus , and then [it can relay it back to InfluxDB][14]. Telegraf is the glue that will allow us to connect together both services.
We need to store the data into a bucket and also an authentication token is required. Both can be created on the command line as follows (using the InfluxDB docker container):
```
josevnz@raspberrypi:~$ podman exec --tty --interactive influxdb_raspberrypi /bin/bash
root@raspberrypi:/#
# Create a bucket called 'prometheus'
root@raspberrypi:/# influx bucket create --org Kodegeek --name prometheus --description 'Prometheus storage' --retention 0
ID Name Retention Shard group duration Organization ID Schema Type
5efea066b05e584d prometheus infinite 168h0m0s c334619ae2cd7b3d implicit
# Now create an authentication token for the new bucket, id = 5efea066b05e584d
root@raspberrypi:/# influx auth create --org Kodegeek --description 'Authorization for Prometheus' --write-bucket 5efea066b05e584d --read-bucket 5efea066b05e584d --write-buckets --read-buckets
ID Description Token User Name User ID Permissions

```
Time to connect Telegraf with the InfluxDB instance. This requires changes on
/etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf
running on dmaf5:
```
## Collect Node-exporter Prometheus formatted metrics on dmaf5. In this case node-exporter service
## http://dmaf5:9100/metrics (Node exporter) != http://dmaf5:9090/metrics Prometheus scrapper
[[inputs.prometheus]]
urls = ["http://dmaf5:9100/metrics"]
metric_version = 2
## Write Prometheus formatted metrics to InfluxDB prometheus bucket
[[outputs.influxdb_v2]]
urls = ["http://raspberrypi:8086"]
token = "bo1-N1Ythhpxj0oAh14TDfEM66Ty0Iz7bmLkxEcUdune3pSj8Or7Lzoe-PCWr-yqyabxBukOIurjdTnSCSsUFw=="
organization = "Kodegeek"
bucket = "prometheus"
```
Now connect our Prometheus installation with Telegraf and enable the service on dmaf5, where Telegraf was installed:
```
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable telegraf.service --now
```
Confirm that it is running:
```
$ sudo systemctl enable telegraf.service --now
$ sudo systemctl status telegraf.service

```
Now we can use the Data Explorer panel to check on the InfluxDB GUI see some of the captured metrics. For example, number of bytes read from my NVME drives:
![][15]
As you can see we can now skip using the Prometheus scrapper with no changes to your existing Prometheus configuration. Instead we let Telegraf collect the data for us directly into the InfluxDB database.
But, are these the only integration possible with InfluxDB?
### Integration with Glances
[Glances][16] is another great monitoring tool, written in Python, and it is a great alternative to Prometheus for the following scenarios:
1. Cannot deploy a node exporter agent because you lack the privileges, or have a company policy you must follow (like another agent running)
2. Want to get insight on the host performance but for limited time and don’t want to deal with a formal deployment. Run it for a while, then shut it down.
3. You already use Glances for monitoring and want to persist this information for later analysis.
Next we will show you how you can integrate both tools.
#### A quick demonstration of Glances
Installation is pretty simple with pip:
```
$ python -m venv ~/virtualenv/glances
$ . ~/virtualenv/glances/bin/activate (glances)
$ pip install --upgrade glance
... Successfully installed glances-3.4.0.3
```
Normally you call glances without any options, to capture stats:
```
# Running in standalone mode (glances)
$ glances
```
![][17]
If we want to record activity from Glances, we need to set up a InfluxDB so it can accept our activity data.
#### Creating a Glances bucket to store our activity data
First step is to connect to our InfluxDB instance and create a bucket, I called mine
glances
.
Most likely you already have several buckets in your InfluxDB database so we will create a new bucket.
Now inside the influxdb_raspberrypi running container we create a bucket with a retention policy to keep our data forever:
```
josevnz@raspberrypi:~$ podman exec --tty --interactive influxdb_raspberrypi /bin/bash
root@raspberrypi:/# influx bucket create --org Kodegeek --name glances --description 'Glances storage' --retention 0
ID Name Retention Shard group duration Organization ID Schema Type 305430cf2f5de6fd glances infinite 168h0m0s c334619ae2cd7b3d implicit
```
Our bucket has the id ‘305430cf2f5de6fd’. We will use that to create an authorization token we can use to insert/ read data remotely from Glances:
```
josevnz@raspberrypi:~$ podman exec --tty --interactive influxdb_raspberrypi /bin/bash
root@raspberrypi:/# influx auth create --org Kodegeek --description 'Authorization for Glances' --write-bucket 305430cf2f5de6fd --read-bucket 305430cf2f5de6fd --write-buckets --read-buckets
ID Description Token User Name User ID Permissions 0c37feccff400000 Authorization for Glances UnmEgl1HQ7AiZB8_QrCJFYkm2tE_e82_Sd9jnkrMsj1nA0YONpazx2HHuoPK3b_GnP7WX2qNURDnUfvcQyfagw== josevnz 09ff917433270000 [read:orgs/c334619ae2cd7b3d/buckets/305430cf2f5de6fd write:orgs/c334619ae2cd7b3d/buckets/305430cf2f5de6fd read:orgs/c334619ae2cd7b3d/buckets write:orgs/c334619ae2cd7b3d/buckets]
```
Here we get the authorization token
```
'UnmEgl1HQ7AiZB8_QrCJFYkm2tE_e82_Sd9jnkrMsj1nA0YONpazx2HHuoPK3b_GnP7WX2qNURDnUfvcQyfagw=='.
```
We will use it in our Glances configuration file:
Now we need to bridge glances with InfluxDB. For that we can add the following to the Glances configuration file:
```
$ mkdir ~/.config/glances/
/bin/cat<<GLANCES>~/.config/glances/glances.conf
[global]
refresh=2
check_update=false
history_size=28800
[influxdb2]
# server2 is where InfluxDB is running
host=raspberrypi
port=8086
protocol=http
org=KodeGeek
bucket=glances
# And here you put the token we generated on the previous step
token=UnmEgl1HQ7AiZB8_QrCJFYkm2tE_e82_Sd9jnkrMsj1nA0YONpazx2HHuoPK3b_GnP7WX2qNURDnUfvcQyfagw==
GLANCES
```
Next install the [InfluxDB Python client][18]. This allows Glances to export the metrics directly to InfluxDB:
```
$ pip install --upgrade influxdb-client

Uninstalling influxdb-client-1.36.1:

```
Now we just need to run Glances again:
```
$ . ~/virtualenv/glances/bin/activate
# Refresh every 5 seconds, export to influxdb2
glances --time 5 --export influxdb2
```
Make sure that you have set up your authorization configuration properly. On the InfluxDB container you should now see these:
```
$ podman logs --follow influxdb_raspberrypi
2023-12-03T13:10:49.944038Z info Unauthorized {"log_id": "0lVhMguW000", "error": "authorization not found"} 2023-12-03T13:11:33.357711Z info Unauthorized {"log_id": "0lVhMguW000", "error": "token required"
```
Optionally you could run [tshark][19] and confirm that Glances is making POST requests to the InfluxDB endpoint:
```
$ tshark -i eno1 -Y http.request -f "host 192.168.68.60 and tcp port 8086"
Capturing on 'eno1'

At ‘glance’ not much is happening ( _pun intended_ ) but if we go to the InfluxDB data explorer we will see a new bucket there, along with a few collections:
![][20]
This particular time series shows **memory utilization over time** , where Glances is running. Glances, by default, collects many interesting metrics out of the box.
### What did we learn
* If you are still curious about the Prometheus and InfluxDB overlapping functionalities, [you should read this comparison][21].
* I showed you how to use tshark for troubleshooting. This tool [is a must][22] in your bag of tricks.
* There are RPMs available for Fedora to install node-exporter, Prometheus, and Telegraf. Feel free to try them. I wanted extra flexibility for my installation, so I decided to perform most of the installation steps manually.
* Glances and Prometheus _are not the only possible integrations with InfluxDB_. Many more are supported thanks to the [Telegraf plugins][23].
* Source code for the Glances and InfluxDB integration can [be downloaded from here][24], with examples.
