solana/metrics/scripts

This directory contains scripts to manage a local instance of InfluxDB OSS and Grafana

Setup

Start the local metric services:

$ ./start.sh

Metrics are enabled on a per-shell basis which means you must source the following scripts in each shell in which you start an application you wish to collect metrics from. For example, if running a Solana validator you must run source ./enable.sh before starting the node:

$ source ./enable.sh

Once metrics have been started and you have an application running you can view the metrics at:

http://localhost:3000/dashboards

To test that things are working correctly you can send a test airdrop data point and then check the metrics dashboard:

$ ./test.sh

Stop metric services:

$ ./stop.sh

InfluxDB CLI

You may find it useful to install the InfluxDB client for adhoc metrics collection/viewing

• Linux - sudo apt-get install influxdb-client
• macOS - brew install influxdb

Simple example of pulling all airdrop measurements out of the testnet database:

$ influx -database testnet -username read -password read -execute 'SELECT * FROM "drone-airdrop"'

Monitoring

To monitor activity, run one of:

$ docker logs -f influxdb
$ docker logs -f grafana
