Deploy the Aerospike Monitoring Stack

Deploy the Aerospike Monitoring Stack and Prometheus exporter

The Aerospike Monitoring Stack (AMS) provides a monitoring dashboard and alerting through Prometheus, Grafana and the Aerospike Prometheus exporter.

Create a Cluster

In this example you’ll create two Aerospike Database clusters, each with three nodes.

aerolab cluster create -n dc1 -c 3
aerolab cluster create -n dc2 -c 3

Install the Prometheus exporter

Add an Aerospike Prometheus exporter agent for each node of both clusters.

aerolab cluster add exporter -n dc1,dc2

Add a custom config for the exporter

You can add a custom ape.toml, for example when using authentication or TLS to talk to the Aerospike cluster, like so:

aerolab cluster add exporter -n dc1,dc2 -o /path/to/ape.toml

Upgrading the exporter

You can execute the cluster add exporter command on the same cluster multiple times. This will result in the exporter being upgraded to the latest version with a new ape.toml exporter configuration file.

Add an AMS client

Install the AMS client - AWS, Docker on Linux

aerolab client create ams -n ams -s dc1,dc2

Install the AMS client - Docker Desktop

aerolab client create ams -n ams -s dc1,dc2 -e 3000:3000

Update the AMS client’s list of node IPs to monitor in a given cluster

You can reconfigure the same AMS client to monitor an updated list of node IPs in a cluster. This command avoids recreating the AMS client machine.

aerolab client configure ams -n ams -s dc1,dc2

Access the monitoring dashboard

aerolab client list

You can access the AMS client’s monitoring dashboard using its IP address and port 3000 in your browser.

For AWS, Docker-Laptop and Docker on Linux, that is: http://<IP>:3000

For Docker Desktop, use: http://127.0.0.1:3000

The default username and password are: admin/admin
