Install and Configure Prometheus Server and Node Exporter in RHEL

Install and Configure Prometheus Server and Node Exporter

There are 3 importants components to make sure Prometheus is up and running. We need to install and configure

  1. Prometheus Server,
  2. Node Exporter, and
  3. Dashborad which can be PromDash or Grafana.

Step 1 – Install and configure Prometheus Server in RHEL 7

Download Prometheus
Download Prometheus from https://prometheus.io/download/. You can find 3 Prometheus package which is supported for darwin/linux and windows.

$ sudo -s
$ yum install wget -y
$ cd /opt/
$ wget https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/download/v2.3.2/prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ cd prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64

If you find following files….

[root@ip-172-31-21-164 prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64]# ls -1
LICENSE
NOTICE
console_libraries
consoles
prometheus
prometheus.yml
promtool

This completes the Prometheus installation.

Verify the installation by typing in the following command:

[root@ip-172-31-21-164 prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64]# ./prometheus --version
prometheus, version 2.3.2 (branch: HEAD, revision: 71af5e29e815795e9dd14742ee7725682fa14b7b)
build user: root@5258e0bd9cc1
build date: 20180712-14:02:52
go version: go1.10.3

Step 2 – Install and configure Prometheus Node Exporter in RHEL 7

In order to monitor the metrics of your RHEL server, you should install a tool called Node Exporter. Node Exporter, as its name suggests, exports lots of metrics (such as disk I/O statistics, CPU load, memory usage, network statistics, and more) in a format Prometheus understands.

cd /opt/
wget https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter/releases/download/v0.16.0/node_exporter-0.16.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf node_exporter-0.16.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd node_exporter-0.16.0.linux-amd64
nohup ./node_exporter &

Step 3 — Running Node Exporter as a Service
if you want to Running Node Exporter as a Service

$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/node_exporter.service

[Unit]
Description=Node Exporter
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=simple
ExecStart=/root/prometheus/node_exporter/node_exporter

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

# Save the file and exit the text editor.

Reload systemd so that it reads the configuration file you just created.

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable it so that it starts automatically at boot time.

$ sudo systemctl enable node_exporter.service

You can now either reboot your server, or use the following command to start the service manually:

$ sudo systemctl start node_exporter.service

Once it starts, use a browser to view Node Exporter’s web interface, which is available at http://your_server_ip:9100/metrics. You should see a page with a lot of text:

Step 4 — Starting Prometheus Server

Enter the directory where you installed the Prometheus server:

$ cd /opt/prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64

Before you start Prometheus, you must first understand a configuration file for it called prometheus.yml.

[root@ip-172-31-21-164 prometheus-2.3.2.linux-amd64]# more prometheus.yml
# my global config
global:
scrape_interval: 15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
# scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).

# Alertmanager configuration
alerting:
alertmanagers:
- static_configs:
- targets:
# - alertmanager:9093

# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
rule_files:
# - "first_rules.yml"
# - "second_rules.yml"

# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
# Here it's Prometheus itself.
scrape_configs:
# The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
- job_name: 'prometheus'

# metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
# scheme defaults to 'http'.

static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:9090']

Whereas, This creates a scrape_configs section and defines a job called node. It includes the URL of your Node Exporter’s web interface in its array of targets. The scrape_interval is set to 15 seconds so that Prometheus scrapes the metrics once every fifteen seconds.

You could name your job anything you want, but calling it “node” allows you to use the default console templates of Node Exporter. Save the file and exit.

Start the Prometheus server as a background process.

$ nohup ./prometheus > prometheus.log 2>&1 &

You can view the last few lines of the file using the tail command:

$ tail prometheus.log

Once the server is ready, you will see the following messages in the file:

level=info ts=2018-08-21T11:47:38.56459183Z caller=web.go:415 component=web msg="Start listening for connections" address=0.0.0.0:9090
level=info ts=2018-08-21T11:47:38.569742672Z caller=main.go:543 msg="TSDB started"
level=info ts=2018-08-21T11:47:38.569767659Z caller=main.go:603 msg="Loading configuration file" filename=prometheus.yml
level=info ts=2018-08-21T11:47:38.57069388Z caller=main.go:629 msg="Completed loading of configuration file" filename=prometheus.yml
level=info ts=2018-08-21T11:47:38.570724527Z caller=main.go:502 msg="Server is ready to receive web requests."

Use a browser to visit Prometheus’s homepage available at http://your_server_ip:9090. You’ll see the following homepage.

Step 5 — Verify Prometheus Server
To make sure that Prometheus server is scraping data from Node Exporter, click on the Graph tab at the top of the page. On the page that opens, type in the name of a metric (like up, for example) in the text field that says Expression. Then, press the blue Execute button. Click Graph (next to Console) just below, and you should see a graph for that metric:

More metric can be found from the Node Exporter host such as
http://X.X.X.X:9100/metrics

Prometheus has console templates that let you view graphs of a few commonly used metrics. These console template are accessible only if you set the value of job_name to “prometheus” in Prometheus’s configuration.

Visit http://your_server_ip:9090/consoles/prometheus.html to access the Node Console and click on your server, localhost:9100, to view its metrics.

Step 6 — Installing PromDash Or Grafana…..

Install and Configure Grafana in Ubuntu and Debian

Install and Configure Grafana in Ubuntu and Debian

Step 1 – Download & Install Grafana
Download Grafana RPM file RPM for Linux from https://grafana.com/grafana/download?platform=linux

# Ubuntu & Debian
$ wget https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/grafana-releases/release/grafana_5.2.2_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i grafana_5.2.2_amd64.deb

Step 2 – Understand Grafana Installation details in Ubuntu/Debian

  1. Installs binary to /usr/sbin/grafana-server
  2. Installs Init.d script to /etc/init.d/grafana-server
  3. Creates default file (environment vars) to /etc/default/grafana-server
  4. Installs configuration file to /etc/grafana/grafana.ini
  5. Installs systemd service (if systemd is available) name grafana-server.service
  6. The default configuration sets the log file at /var/log/grafana/grafana.log
  7. The default configuration specifies an sqlite3 db at /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db
  8. Installs HTML/JS/CSS and other Grafana files at /usr/share/grafana

Step 3 – Start the server (init.d service)

$ sudo service grafana-server start

This will start the grafana-server process as the grafana user, which was created during the package installation. The default HTTP port is 3000 and default user and group is admin.

Step 4 – Configure the Grafana server to start at boot time

$ sudo update-rc.d grafana-server defaults
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl start grafana-server
$ systemctl status grafana-server
$ sudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service

Step 5 – Grafana server Environment file
The systemd service file and init.d script both use the file located at /etc/default/grafana-server for environment variables used when starting the back-end. Here you can override log directory, data directory and other variables.

Step 6 – Grafana server Log
By default Grafana will log to /var/log/grafana

Step 7 – Grafana Database
The default configuration specifies a sqlite3 database located at /var/lib/grafana/grafana.db.

You can also use MySQL or Postgres as the Grafana database, as detailed on
http://docs.grafana.org/installation/configuration/#database

The configuration file is located at /etc/grafana/grafana.ini. Go the Configuration page for details on all those options. You can add following data sources

  1. Graphite
  2. InfluxDB
  3. OpenTSDB
  4. Prometheus

Step 8 – Server side image rendering
Server side image (png) rendering is a feature that is optional but very useful when sharing visualizations, for example in alert notifications.

$ yum install fontconfig
$ yum install freetype*
$ yum install urw-fonts

Step 9 – How to access the Grafana dashboard

Configuring NFS to access the files from remote Linux machine as a mount point

I have a 2Tb of storage on a linux box, and i want to use that storage as a mount point from another machine.
As a root user on the remote machine, specify the mount point details
$cat /etc/exports
/scratch *(rw)
/fusionapps *(rw,no_root_squash)
And restart the NFS
sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart (All services should be in  running condition)
sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs status (All services should be  in running condition)
And on the local machine, perfrom the following steps
1. Create the stage dir under / as a root user and assign 777 permissions
2. Ad the entry to /etc/fstab file
slcai664.us.oracle.com:/fusionapps /stage nfs rw,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,timeo=600,noacl,noatime,nodiratime,lock 0 0
3. Then try “mount -a”
If there are any mount point issues, say even as root user, you are not able to modify the files

Unable to mount Read-Only file System

then use

sudo mount -n -o remount,rw /

Search providers are stored in the registry in either the HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hives at Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes. To automate the process of adding search providers to computers
, use a test computer to configure the search engines manually, including specifying the default search engine. Then, create a .reg file based on this registry key and its subkeys and distribute it to your client computers.

To create a .reg file, follow these steps:

* To start the Registry Editor, click Start, type Regedit, and then press Enter.
To configure search engines
for individual users, select HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes.
* To configure search engines for all users on a computer, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes.
* Select Export from the File menu. Save the .reg file.

You can now distribute the .reg file to computers in your organization. To configure the search engines, double-click the .reg file to open the Registry Editor and apply the settings. Unfortunately, this requires administrative credentials. If you need to distribute the updated settings without explicitly providing administrative credentials, have a developer create a Windows Installer package that creates the registry values and distribute the Windows Installer package by using Group Policy software distribution.

export https_proxy=https://username:password@your_proxy:your_port
export https_proxy=https://%username%:%password%@your_proxy:your_port
FAQ
1. How to escape if password has a @ character
Ans – try %40 instead of @
2. What is the file name where it stroed the proxy in Ubantu
Ans – /etc/environment
3. How to set proxy inforamtin in Apt?
Ans – Adding following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf has solved the problem:
Acquire::http::proxy “http://10.1.3.1:8080/”;
If file does not exist, create it. Do not confuse it with apt.conf.d directory.
4. How to set proxy inforamtin in linux Profile?
5. Why manual export failed to affect apt-get with the proxy info?
Ans – The reason your manual export failed to affect apt-get is because sudo ignores that environment variable by default (i.e. it doesn’t pass it on to the command). For one-off runs, you could do sudo env http_proxy=http://10.1.3.1:8080 apt-get update. Otherwise, you could configure sudo to allow http_proxy to fall through.

Configure the Knife Command – Chef

configure-the-knife-command

We now have to configure the knife command. This command is the central way of communicating with our server and the nodes that we will be configuring. We need to tell it how to authenticate and then generate a user to access the Chef server.

Luckily, we’ve been laying the groundwork for this step by acquiring the appropriate credential files. We can start the configuration by typing:

knife configure --initial 

This will ask you a series of questions. We will go through them one by one:

WARNING: No knife configuration file found Where should I put the config file? [/home/your_user/.chef/knife.rb]

The values in the brackets ([]) are the default values that knife will use if we do not select a value.

We want to place our knife configuration file in the hidden directory we have been using:

/home/your_user/chef-repo/.chef/knife.rb

In the next question, type in the domain name or IP address you use to access the Chef server. This should begin with https:// and end with :443:

https://server_domain_or_IP:443

You will be asked for a name for the new user you will be creating. Choose something descriptive:

Please enter a name for the new user: [root] station1

It will then ask you for the admin name. This you can just press enter on to accept the default value (we didn’t change the admin name).

It will then ask you for the location of the existing administrators key. This should be:

/home/your_user/chef-repo/.chef/admin.pem

It will ask a similar set of questions about the validator. We haven’t changed the validator’s name either, so we can keep that as chef-validator. Press enter to accept this value.

It will then ask you for the location of the validation key. It should be something like this:

/home/your_user/chef-repo/.chef/chef-validator.pem

Next, it will ask for the path to the repository. This is the chef-repo folder we have been operating in:

/home/your_user/chef-repo

Finally, it will ask you to select a password for your new user. Select anything you would like.

This should complete our knife configuration. If we look in our chef-repo/.chef directory, we should see a knife configuration file and the credentials of our new user:

ls ~/chef-repo/.chef 
admin.pem  chef-validator.pem  knife.rb  station1.pem
