ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Monitoring Download and Install Scylla Monitoring Stack Using Docker Compose

Caution

You're viewing documentation for a previous version of ScyllaDB Monitoring. Switch to the latest stable version.

Using Docker Compose¶

Scylla-Monitoring Stack is container-based. You can start and stop the Scylla Monitoring Stack with the start-all.sh and kill-all.sh scripts.

Docker Compose is an alternative method to start and stop the stack. It requires more manual steps, but once configured, it simplifies starting and stopping the stack.

Warning

docker-compose and start_all.sh are two alternative ways to launch Scylla Monitoring Stack. You should use one method, not both. In particular, creating and updating docker-compose.yml is ignored when using start_all.sh

Prerequisite¶

Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed.

Setting Prometheus¶

The Prometheus configuration file contains among others the IP address of the alertmanager and either the location of the scylla_server.yml file or a Consul IP address of Scylla Manager, if Scylla Manager is used for server provisioning.

You can use ./prometheus-config.sh to generate the file, for example:

./prometheus-config.sh --compose

For production systems, It is advised to use an external directory for the Prometheus database. Make sure to create one and update the docker-compose file accordingly (see the docker-compose example below).

Setting Grafana Provisioning¶

Grafana reads its provisioning configuration from files, one for the data-source and one for the dashboards. Note that the latter tells Grafana where the dashboards are located, it is not the dashboards themselves, which are at a different location.

Grafana Data-Source file¶

Run the following command to update the datasource:

./grafana-datasource.sh --compose

You can see the generated file under: grafana/provisioning/datasources/datasource.yaml

Grafana Dashboard Load file¶

To set the dashboard load file, you can run the ./generate-sashboards.sh with the -t command line flag and the -v flag to specify the version. For example, Scylla-enterprise version 2020.1:

./generate-dashboards.sh -t -v 2020.1

This command generates the files under: grafana/provisioning/dashboards/

Docker Compose file¶

You can use the following example as a base for your docker compose.

Pass the following to a file called docker-compose.yml

services:
  alertmanager:
    container_name: aalert
    image: prom/alertmanager:v0.21.0
