A collection containing roles for Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) and related software such as Redis and Grafana. The collection is made up of several Ansible roles, including: performancecopilot.metrics.pcp A role for core PCP capabilities, configuring live performance analysis with a large base set of metrics from the kernel and system services, as well as data recording and rule inference. performancecopilot.metrics.redis A role for configuring a local Redis server, suitable for use with a Performance Co-Pilot archive repository (for single or many hosts) and fast, scalable querying of metrics. performancecopilot.metrics.grafana A role for configuring a local Grafana server, providing web frontend visuals for Performance Co-Pilot metrics, both live and historically. Data sources for Vector (live), Redis (historical) and interactive bpftrace (eBPF) scripts can be configured by this role. The PCP REST API service (from the core pcp role) should be configured in order to use this role. performancecopilot.metrics.bpftrace A role that extends the core PCP role, providing metrics from bpftrace scripts using Linux eBPF facilities. Configuring authentication of a local user capable of running bpftrace scripts via the PCP agent is a key task of this role. performancecopilot.metrics.elasticsearch A role that extends the core PCP role, providing metrics from a live ElasticSearch instance for PCP analysis or exporting of PCP metric values (and metadata) to ElasticSearch for the indexing and querying of performance data.
You know, for windows event logs Winlogbeat is an open-source log collector that ships Windows Event Logs to Elasticsearch or Logstash. It installs as a Windows service on all versions since Windows XP.
This gem is a Logstash plugin required to be installed on top of the Logstash core pipeline using $LS_HOME/bin/logstash-plugin install gemname. This gem is not a stand-alone program.
Packetbeat is an open source network packet analyzer that ships the data to Elasticsearch. Think of it like a distributed real-time Wireshark with a lot more analytics features. The Packetbeat shippers sniff the traffic between your application processes, parse on the fly protocols like HTTP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis or Thrift and correlate the messages into transactions. For each transaction, the shipper inserts a JSON document into Elasticsearch, where it is stored and indexed. You can then use Kibana to view key metrics and do ad-hoc queries against the data.
