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 fullnode you must call 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/d/local/local-monitor

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 thinclient measurements out of the local database:

$ influx -database local -username admin -password admin -execute 'select * from thinclient'

Monitoring

To monitor activity, run one of:

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