Etcd Dashboard

Overview

Collect Etcd metrics to:

  • Monitor the health of your Etcd cluster.
  • Know when host configurations may be out of sync.
  • Correlate the performance of Etcd with the rest of your applications.

Setup

Installation

The Etcd check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your Etcd instance(s).

Configuration

Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

Metric collection
  1. Edit the etcd.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your Etcd performance data. See the sample etcd.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.
  2. Restart the Agent
Log collection
  1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

    logs_enabled: true
    
  2. Uncomment and edit this configuration block at the bottom of your etcd.d/conf.yaml:

    logs:
      - type: file
        path: "<LOG_FILE_PATH>"
        source: etcd
        service: "<SERVICE_NAME>"
    

    Change the path and service parameter values based on your environment. See the sample etcd.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

  3. Restart the Agent.

Containerized

For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying the parameters below.

Metric collection
ParameterValue
<INTEGRATION_NAME>etcd
<INIT_CONFIG>blank or {}
<INSTANCE_CONFIG>{"prometheus_url": "http://%%host%%:2379/metrics"}
Log collection

Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. To enable it, see Kubernetes log collection.

ParameterValue
<LOG_CONFIG>{"source": "etcd", "service": "<SERVICE_NAME>"}

Validation

Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for etcd under the Checks section.

Etcd metrics are tagged with etcd_state:leader or etcd_state:follower, depending on the node status, so you can easily aggregate metrics by status.

Events

The Etcd check does not include any events.

Service Checks

etcd.can_connect
Returns CRITICAL if unable to get metrics from etcd (timeout or non-200 HTTP code). This service check is only available on the legacy version of the etcd check.
Statuses: ok, critical

etcd.healthy
Returns CRITICAL when a member is unhealthy. This service check is only available on the legacy version of the etcd check.
Statuses: ok, critical, unknown

etcd.prometheus.health
Returns CRITICAL if the check cannot access a metrics endpoint. Otherwise, returns OK. This service check is only available when use_preview is enabled.
Statuses: ok, critical
