   In Node exporter metric definition file, you define a trend view.

   For descriptions, see Node exporter metric definition file (metrics_node_exporter.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

3. Configure the service monitor settings.

   - Editing Node exporter's unit definition file (jpc_node_exporter.service).

   When monitoring services, edit the unit definition file (jpc_node_exporter.service) of Node exporter as shown in the underlined part below.

   [Unit]
   Description = JP1/IM3-Agent Linux metric collector
   After=local-fs.target remote-fs.target rsyslog.service network.target
   [Service]
   WorkingDirectory = @@installdir2@@/jp1ima/bin
   ExecStart = /bin/sh -c '"@@installdir1@@/jp1ima/bin/node_exporter" \
     --collector.cpu.info \
   (Omitted)
     --no-collector.supervisord \
     --collector.systemd \
     --collector.systemd.unit-include="Regular expressions to match unit file names" \
     --no-collector.tcpstat \
     --no-collector.textfile \
     --no-collector.thermal_zone \
   (Omitted)

   If "--no-collector.systemd" is set as the value of the argument to be set on the ExecStart line, change it to "--collector.systemd". If "--collector.systemd.unit-include" is not set, add a line and set the value to a regular expression that matches the unit file name of the unit you want to monitor.

   Depending on how regular expressions are specified, it may take some time to collect performance information. For details, see G.4 Tips on using regular expressions section in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

   - Node exporter unit definition file (jpc_node_exporter.service) definition example

   The following shows a sample configuration for monitoring jpc_imagent.service and jpc_imagentproxy.service units.

   [Unit]
   Description = JP1/IM3-Agent Linux metric collector
   After=local-fs.target remote-fs.target rsyslog.service network.target
   [Service]
   WorkingDirectory = @@installdir2@@/jp1ima/bin
   ExecStart = /bin/sh -c '"@@installdir1@@/jp1ima/bin/node_exporter" \

   (Omitted)
     --no-collector.supervisord \
     --collector.systemd \
     --collector.systemd.unit-include="^(jpc_imagent|jpc_imagentproxy)\.service$" \
     --no-collector.tcpstat \
     --no-collector.textfile \
     --no-collector.thermal_zone \
   (Omitted)

Among the units that correspond to the above specification, the units for which automatic startup is enabled or the status is being executed are monitored. For details, see the Specifying monitored services in 3.15.1(1)(d) Node exporter (Linux performance data collection capability) in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Overview and System Design Guide.

(a) Specifying monitored processes (required)

- Edit the Process exporter configuration file (jpc_process_exporter.yml)

Edit the Process exporter configuration file (jpc_process_exporter.yml) to define which processes are to be monitored.

By default, no process is to be monitored, and therefore you will uncomment the initial settings and then specify the processes you want to monitor in the Process exporter configuration file.

For details on the Process exporter configuration file, see Process exporter configuration file (jpc_process_exporter.yml) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

(b) Modifying monitoring metrics (optional)

- Edit the Prometheus configuration file (jpc_prometheus_server.yml)

If you want to change metrics to be collected, modify the metric_relabel_configs setting in the Prometheus configuration file (jpc_prometheus_server.yml).

For details on the Prometheus configuration file, see Prometheus configuration file (jpc_prometheus_server.yml) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

- Edit the Process exporter metric definition file (metrics_process_exporter.conf)

If you want to change metrics displayed in the Trends tab of the integrated operation viewer, edit the settings in the Process exporter metric definition file (metrics_process_exporter.conf).

For details on the Process exporter metric definition file, see Process exporter metric definition file (metrics_process_exporter.conf) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

(c) Changing Ports (optional)

The listen port used by Process exporter is specified in --web.listen-address option of the process_exporter command.

For details about how to change the options of process_exporter command, see 2.19.2(1)(c) Change command-line options (for Linux). For details about --web.listen-address option, see If you want to change command line options in Unit definition file (jpc_program-name.service) in Chapter 2. Definition Files in the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Command, Definition File and API Reference.

The default port is "20721". If port number is changed, review setup of the firewall and prohibit accessing from outside.

Notes:

• When specifying the host name for this option, the same host name must be set for targets in the Process exporter discovery configuration file (jpc_file_sd_config_process.yml) on the same host.

• When specifying an IP address for this option, the host name that is resolved to the IP address specified for this option must be set for targets in the Process exporter discovery configuration file (jpc_file_sd_config_process.yml) on the same host.

(d) Optional setting to remove child processes from monitoring

By default, when monitoring a monitored process, Process exporter monitors the child process and retrieves the operational data including the child process.

If you want Process exporter to acquire the activity without including the child process, modify unit definition file of Process exporter as follows:

File to be edited

• For physical hosts

  /usr/lib/systemd/system/jpc_process_exporter.service

• For logical hosts

  /usr/lib/systemd/system/jpc_process_exporter_logical hostname.service

Editing data

Configure -children=false with the process_exporter boot options listed in ExecStart.

Setting example

ExecStart = /bin/sh -c '"/opt/jp1ima/bin/process_exporter" \

-Children=false \

-Debug=true \

--Config.path="/opt/jp1ima/conf/jpc_process_exporter.yml" \
