Hi,

I need to monitor my Hadoop/HBase cluster.

Which tool is good? Ganglia or Nagios?

Thanks,
Bhushan

Ganglia is monitoring and trending.
Nagios is health checking and alerting.
There are also many other tools, like Cacti, for example. Very similar functionality to Ganglia,
It all depends on what kind of information you need to get.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Leonid Fedotov

Hey,

You need to use both. If you setup the cluster through Apache Ambari (
http://incubator.apache.org/ambari/), it will setup everything for you.

IMHO, you can use ganglia for monitoring the cluster and use nagios for
alerting , upon ganglia.

Thank you.

Hi,

Have a look at
http://sematext.com/spm/hbase-performance-monitoring/index.html (screenshot
included).  It does both monitoring and alerting and it's a SaaS, so you
don't have to fiddle with Ganglia and Nagios, install, upgrade, etc.

Brushan,
I do not think this sematext.com solution is what you are looking for.
It only monitors HBase and nothing else in the Hadoop ecosystem.
As Enis said, go to Ambari and it will give you full size monitoring/alerting/management functionality.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Leonid Fedotov

Hi Leonid,

On Sematext's screenshot I can see Disk/CPU/JVM/Network/GC/etc.

I think it's doing a bit more than just the HBase metrics. Also, it
might be possible to configure it to add more Hadoop related
information?

Maybe it's less complete than a solution you install yourself on your
server, but the + is  that it's very easy to install...

Hi,

Both Jean-Marc and Leonid are correct.  SPM will give you HBase and a
number of server metrics.  Right now it won't give you, say, ZK or HDFS
metrics, but that's on the TODO list, of course.  Anyhow, it's free for
anyone to try and use and see if it does the job for them or not.
