Deploy Monitoring Services for the TiDB Cluster

This document is intended for users who want to manually deploy TiDB monitoring and alert services.

If you deploy the TiDB cluster using TiUP, the monitoring and alert services are automatically deployed, and no manual deployment is needed.

Deploy Prometheus and Grafana

Assume that the TiDB cluster topology is as follows:

Name Host IP Services
Node1 192.168.199.113 PD1, TiDB, node_export, Prometheus, Grafana
Node2 192.168.199.114 PD2, node_export
Node3 192.168.199.115 PD3, node_export
Node4 192.168.199.116 TiKV1, node_export
Node5 192.168.199.117 TiKV2, node_export
Node6 192.168.199.118 TiKV3, node_export

Step 1: Download the binary package

{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

# Downloads the package.
wget https://download.pingcap.org/prometheus-2.8.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
wget https://download.pingcap.org/node_exporter-0.17.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
wget https://download.pingcap.org/grafana-6.1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

# Extracts the package.
tar -xzf prometheus-2.8.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf node_exporter-0.17.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf grafana-6.1.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Step 2: Start node_exporter on Node1, Node2, Node3, and Node4

{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

cd node_exporter-0.17.0.linux-amd64

# Starts the node_exporter service.
$ ./node_exporter --web.listen-address=":9100" \
    --log.level="info" &

Step 3: Start Prometheus on Node1

Edit the Prometheus configuration file:

{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

cd prometheus-2.8.1.linux-amd64 &&
vi prometheus.yml
...

global:
  scrape_interval:     15s  # By default, scrape targets every 15 seconds.
  evaluation_interval: 15s  # By default, scrape targets every 15 seconds.
  # scrape_timeout is set to the global default value (10s).
  external_labels:
    cluster: 'test-cluster'
    monitor: "prometheus"

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'overwritten-nodes'
    honor_labels: true  # Do not overwrite job & instance labels.
    static_configs:
    - targets:
      - '192.168.199.113:9100'
      - '192.168.199.114:9100'
      - '192.168.199.115:9100'
      - '192.168.199.116:9100'
      - '192.168.199.117:9100'
      - '192.168.199.118:9100'

  - job_name: 'tidb'
    honor_labels: true  # Do not overwrite job & instance labels.
    static_configs:
    - targets:
      - '192.168.199.113:10080'

  - job_name: 'pd'
    honor_labels: true  # Do not overwrite job & instance labels.
    static_configs:
    - targets:
      - '192.168.199.113:2379'
      - '192.168.199.114:2379'
      - '192.168.199.115:2379'

  - job_name: 'tikv'
    honor_labels: true  # Do not overwrite job & instance labels.
    static_configs:
    - targets:
      - '192.168.199.116:20180'
      - '192.168.199.117:20180'
      - '192.168.199.118:20180'

...

Start the Prometheus service:

$ ./prometheus \
    --config.file="./prometheus.yml" \
    --web.listen-address=":9090" \
    --web.external-url="http://192.168.199.113:9090/" \
    --web.enable-admin-api \
    --log.level="info" \
    --storage.tsdb.path="./data.metrics" \
    --storage.tsdb.retention="15d" &

Step 4: Start Grafana on Node1

Edit the Grafana configuration file:

{{< copyable "shell-regular" >}}

cd grafana-6.1.6 &&
vi conf/grafana.ini

...

[paths]
data = ./data
logs = ./data/log
plugins = ./data/plugins
[server]
http_port = 3000
domain = 192.168.199.113
[database]
[session]
[analytics]
check_for_updates = true
[security]
admin_user = admin
admin_password = admin
[snapshots]
[users]
[auth.anonymous]
[auth.basic]
[auth.ldap]
[smtp]
[emails]
[log]
mode = file
[log.console]
[log.file]
level = info
format = text
[log.syslog]
[event_publisher]
[dashboards.json]
enabled = false
path = ./data/dashboards
[metrics]
[grafana_net]
url = https://grafana.net

...

Start the Grafana service:

$ ./bin/grafana-server \
    --config="./conf/grafana.ini" &

Configure Grafana

This section describes how to configure Grafana.

Step 1: Add a Prometheus data source

  1. Log in to the Grafana Web interface.

    Note:

    For the Change Password step, you can choose Skip.

  2. In the Grafana sidebar menu, click Data Source within the Configuration.

  3. Click Add data source.

  4. Specify the data source information.

    • Specify a Name for the data source.
    • For Type, select Prometheus.
    • For URL, specify the Prometheus address.
    • Specify other fields as needed.

  5. Click Add to save the new data source.

Step 2: Import a Grafana dashboard

To import a Grafana dashboard for the PD server, the TiKV server, and the TiDB server, take the following steps respectively:

  1. Click the Grafana logo to open the sidebar menu.

  2. In the sidebar menu, click Dashboards -> Import to open the Import Dashboard window.

  3. Click Upload .json File to upload a JSON file (Download TiDB Grafana configuration file).

    Note:

    For the TiKV, PD, and TiDB dashboards, the corresponding JSON files are tikv_summary.json, tikv_details.json, tikv_trouble_shooting.json, pd.json, tidb.json, and tidb_summary.json.

  4. Click Load.

  5. Select a Prometheus data source.

  6. Click Import. A Prometheus dashboard is imported.

View component metrics

Click New dashboard in the top menu and choose the dashboard you want to view.
