Monitoring Yarn

This article will help you get the Yarn plugin for sd-agent configured and returning metrics

Installing the yarn plugin package

Install the yarn plugin on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install sd-agent-yarn

Install the yarn plugin on RHEL/CentOS:

sudo yum install sd-agent-yarn

Read more about agent plugins.

Configuring the agent to monitor yarn

1. Configure /etc/sd-agent/conf.d/yarn.yaml

init_config:

instances:
  - resourcemanager_uri: http://localhost:8088 # or whatever your resource manager listens
    cluster_name: MyCluster # used to tag metrics, i.e. 'cluster_name:MyCluster'; default is 'default_cluster'
    collect_app_metrics: true

2. Restart the agent

sudo /etc/init.d/sd-agent restart

or

sudo systemctl restart sd-agent

Verifying the configuration
Execute info to verify the configuration with the following:

sudo /etc/init.d/sd-agent info 

or

/usr/share/python/sd-agent/agent.py info

If the agent has been configured correctly you'll see an output such as:

yarn
-----
  - instance #0 [OK]
  - Collected * metrics

You can also view the metrics returned with the following command:

sudo -u sd-agent /usr/share/python/sd-agent/agent.py check yarn

Configuring graphs

Click the name of your server from the Devices list in your Server Density account then go to the Metrics tab. Click the + Graph button on the right then choose the yarn metrics to display the graphs. The metrics will also be available to select when building dashboard graphs.
