# Telegraf plugin: Cassandra
#### Plugin arguments:
- **context** string: Context root used for jolokia url
2016-04-07 06:25:08 +00:00
- **servers** []string: List of servers with the format "< user:passwd @ >< host > :port"
- **metrics** []string: List of Jmx paths that identify mbeans attributes
2016-04-01 23:13:21 +00:00
#### Description
The Cassandra plugin collects Cassandra/JVM metrics exposed as MBean's attributes through jolokia REST endpoint. All metrics are collected for each server configured.

# Measurements:
Cassandra plugin produces one or more measurements for each metric configured, adding Server's name as `host` tag. More than one measurement is generated when querying table metrics with a wildcard for the keyspace or table name.
Given a configuration like:
2016-04-09 00:37:12 +00:00
```toml
[[inputs.cassandra]]
2016-04-07 06:25:08 +00:00
context = "/jolokia/read"
servers = [":8778"]
metrics = ["/java.lang:type=Memory/HeapMemoryUsage"]
2016-04-01 23:13:21 +00:00
```
The collected metrics will be:
```
javaMemory,host=myHost,mname=HeapMemoryUsage HeapMemoryUsage_committed=1040187392,HeapMemoryUsage_init=1050673152,HeapMemoryUsage_max=1040187392,HeapMemoryUsage_used=368155000 1459551767230567084
```

Using wildcards for "keyspace" and "scope" can create a lot of series as metrics will be reported for every table and keyspace including internal system tables. Specify a keyspace name and/or a table name to limit them.
