Lars George commented on HBASE-2168:
------------------------------------
OK, the patch adds a new contrib package all complete with its own build.xml.
Please read the INSTALL.txt and README.txt included to see what it does in
detail. It adds a single class that acts as a swiss-army-knife JMX tool. It can
scan servers to see what attributes and operations are exposed, query them
subsequently and check the values to be in a certain range. It is based on what
Ed Capriolo has implemented (http://www.jointhegrid.com/hadoop/) but simplifies
the usage. Ed came from a generic perspective while I came from a HBase one, so
I moved settings to an external properties file instead of having classes for
each version. I adjusted his set of graph templates to match the new layout.
The build.xml allows to build a jar matching the current release but also has
the ability to build a custom jar for various reasons.
The INSTALL.txt explains how to do this all and how to use the resulting jar
with Cacti and Nagios. Goal of the contrib is to enable our users to quickly
set up graphing with more elaborate combined graphs (as opposed to graphs
single values with Ganglia for example) and also monitoring with Nagios or
similar tools to get notifications when something is awry.
