Aerospike platform integration

Install the infrastructure agent

To use the Aerospike integration, you need to first install the infrastructure agent on the same host. The infrastructure agent monitors the host itself, while the integration you'll install in the next step extends your monitoring with Aerospike-specific data.

Install Aerospike integration

1. To install nri-aerospike, use the following command:

   bash

   Copy

   $
   sudo apt-get install nri-aerospike

2. Verify nri-aerospike was successfully installed by:

   • Checking that Exporter is installed in the /var/db/newrelic-infra/newrelic-integrations/bin directory.
   • Checking for a configuration file in the /etc/newrelic-infra/integrations.d directory

Configure the integration:

1. Rename the sample configuration file from aerospike-config.yml.sample to aerospike-config.yml:

   bash

   Copy

   $
   sudo cp aerospike-config.yml.sample aerospike-config.yml

2. Edit the config file as needed. The following is as basic example of a configuration file:

   integrations:
   - name: nri-aerospike
       config:
       # API URL of the aerospike service
       aerospike_db_host: localhost
       aerospike_db_port: 3000
   
       # Port to expose scrape endpoint on, If this is not provided a random port will be used to launch the exporter
       exporter_port: 9145
   
       # Cluster name is used on the aerospike.prometheus.json.template - all the metrics captured by nri-prometheus will be categorized under this cluster name
       aerospike_cluster_name: YOUR_DESIRED_CLUSTER_NAME
       scrape_timeout: 5s
   
       label_type: development
       label_source: aerospike
   
       exporter_files_path: /tmp

   Copy

After you've successfully configured nri-aerospike, you can see the list of monitored Aerospike metrics in http://localhost:9145/metrics.

Find your data

To get your Aerospike dashboard:

1. From one.newrelic.com, go to the Add data page.
2. Click on Dashboards.
3. In the search bar, type Aerospike.
4. The Aerospike dashboard should appear. Click on it to install it.

Your Aerospike dashboard is considered a custom dashboard and can be found in the Dashboards UI. For docs on using and editing dashboards, see our dashboard docs.

This integration reports data in the form of our infrastructure agent.

Here's an example NRQL query checking the percentage of memory capacity free on the namespace:

FROM Metric 
SELECT latest (aerospike_namespace_memory_free_pct)
