Telemetry for backend

By default, the telemetry is disabled by setting selector to none, like this

telemetry:
  selector: ${SW_TELEMETRY:none}
  none:
  prometheus:
    host: ${SW_TELEMETRY_PROMETHEUS_HOST:0.0.0.0}
    port: ${SW_TELEMETRY_PROMETHEUS_PORT:1234}
    sslEnabled: ${SW_TELEMETRY_PROMETHEUS_SSL_ENABLED:false}
    sslKeyPath: ${SW_TELEMETRY_PROMETHEUS_SSL_KEY_PATH:""}
    sslCertChainPath: ${SW_TELEMETRY_PROMETHEUS_SSL_CERT_CHAIN_PATH:""}

but you can set one of prometheus to enable them, for more information, refer to the details below.

Prometheus

Prometheus is supported as telemetry implementor. By using this, prometheus collects metrics from SkyWalking backend.

Set prometheus to provider. The endpoint open at http://0.0.0.0:1234/ and http://0.0.0.0:1234/metrics.

telemetry:
  selector: ${SW_TELEMETRY:prometheus}
  prometheus:

Set host and port if needed.

telemetry:
  selector: ${SW_TELEMETRY:prometheus}
  prometheus:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 1543

Set SSL relevant settings to expose a secure endpoint. Notice private key file and cert chain file could be uploaded once changes are applied to them.

telemetry:
  selector: ${SW_TELEMETRY:prometheus}
  prometheus:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 1543
    sslEnabled: true
    sslKeyPath: /etc/ssl/key.pem
    sslCertChainPath: /etc/ssl/cert-chain.pem

Grafana Visualization

Provide the grafana dashboard settings. Check SkyWalking Telemetry dashboard config.

Self Observability

SkyWalking supports to collect telemetry data into OAP backend directly. Users could check them out through UI or GraphQL API then.

Adding following configuration to enable self-observability related modules.

  1. Setting up prometheus telemetry.
telemetry:
  selector: ${SW_TELEMETRY:prometheus}
  prometheus:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 1543
  1. Setting up prometheus fetcher
prometheus-fetcher:
  selector: ${SW_PROMETHEUS_FETCHER:default}
  default:
    active: ${SW_PROMETHEUS_FETCHER_ACTIVE:true}
  1. Make sure config/fetcher-prom-rules/self.yaml exists.

Once you deploy an oap-server cluster, the target host should be replaced with a dedicated IP or hostname. For instances, there are three oap server in your cluster, their host is service1, service2 and service3 respectively. You should update each self.yaml to twist target host.

service1:

fetcherInterval: PT15S
fetcherTimeout: PT10S
metricsPath: /metrics
staticConfig:
  # targets will be labeled as "instance"
  targets:
    - service1:1234
  labels:
    service: oap-server
...

service2:

fetcherInterval: PT15S
fetcherTimeout: PT10S
metricsPath: /metrics
staticConfig:
  # targets will be labeled as "instance"
  targets:
    - service2:1234
  labels:
    service: oap-server
...

service3:

fetcherInterval: PT15S
fetcherTimeout: PT10S
metricsPath: /metrics
staticConfig:
  # targets will be labeled as "instance"
  targets:
    - service3:1234
  labels:
    service: oap-server
...
