Hi Giuseppe et al.
Within HP, we've started to add HBase Monitoring into HP Data Services Manager (HP DSM). In 1.4, you'll see a HBase dashboard, consolidated HBase log messages, and HBase health checks. You'll also see a LOT of the HBase performance metrics landed in tables, which you can query and chart using the Query Whiteboard. We’ll build more visualization of that data as we move forward. 1.4 also introduces 3D representation of performance metrics but we've not yet plugged in the HBase-specific metrics into that visualization. I'm pondering more HBase functions for the next few releases so I'd love input on what you’d want . For example, our IT department would like to be able to get stats such as number of loads and queries processed per hour, per day, etc. but I've not been able to find a way to get that type of data out of HBase. We've been doing work around the slow-query log data but it's not quite meeting the request. Anyway, you can download and try a free copy of HP DSM from: https://vertica.hpwsportal.com/#/Product/%7b%22productId%22:%221296%22%7d/Show I'd love to get feedback on what other function you'd need; I'm attaching a screenshot of HBase monitoring hoping that this mail server will allow it. :) Thank you, Gunnar “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them… Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.” — Steve Jobs [cid:[email protected]] -----Original Message----- From: Alex Newman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 11:27 AM To: user Subject: Re: Best HBase monitoring tool Giuseppe, As far as metrics go: If you want a monitoring solution which doesn't require HBase for course grain metrics I highly recommend graphite. It has become a bit of an industry standard and you may find your ops guy already has it setup. OpenTSDB requires HBase as it's datastore but is an extremely powerful tool for monitoring. Or are you looking at something more than just metrics?
