DC/OS Input Plugin

This input plugin gathers metrics from a DC/OS cluster's metrics component.

Series Cardinality Warning

Depending on the work load of your DC/OS cluster, this plugin can quickly create a high number of series which, when unchecked, can cause high load on your database.

• Use measurement filtering liberally to exclude unneeded metrics as well as the node, container, and app inclue/exclude options.
• Write to a database with an appropriate retention policy.
• Limit the number of series allowed in your database using the max-series-per-database and max-values-per-tag settings.
• Consider enabling the TSI engine.
• Monitor your series cardinality.

Configuration:

[[inputs.dcos]]
  ## The DC/OS cluster URL.
  cluster_url = "https://dcos-master-1"

  ## The ID of the service account.
  service_account_id = "telegraf"
  ## The private key file for the service account.
  service_account_private_key = "/etc/telegraf/telegraf-sa-key.pem"

  ## Path containing login token.  If set, will read on every gather.
  # token_file = "/home/dcos/.dcos/token"

  ## In all filter options if both include and exclude are empty all items
  ## will be collected.  Arrays may contain glob patterns.
  ##
  ## Node IDs to collect metrics from.  If a node is excluded, no metrics will
  ## be collected for its containers or apps.
  # node_include = []
  # node_exclude = []
  ## Container IDs to collect container metrics from.
  # container_include = []
  # container_exclude = []
  ## Container IDs to collect app metrics from.
  # app_include = []
  # app_exclude = []

  ## Maximum concurrent connections to the cluster.
  # max_connections = 10
  ## Maximum time to receive a response from cluster.
  # response_timeout = "20s"

  ## Optional SSL Config
  # ssl_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # ssl_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # ssl_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## If false, skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = true

  ## Recommended filtering to reduce series cardinality.
  # [inputs.dcos.tagdrop]
  #   path = ["/var/lib/mesos/slave/slaves/*"]

Enterprise Authentication

When using Enterprise DC/OS, it is recommended to use a service account to authenticate with the cluster.

The plugin requires the following permissions:

dcos:adminrouter:ops:system-metrics full
dcos:adminrouter:ops:mesos full

Follow the directions to create a service account and assign permissions.

Quick configuration using the Enterprise CLI:

dcos security org service-accounts keypair telegraf-sa-key.pem telegraf-sa-cert.pem
dcos security org service-accounts create -p telegraf-sa-cert.pem -d "Telegraf DC/OS input plugin" telegraf
dcos security org users grant telegraf dcos:adminrouter:ops:system-metrics full
dcos security org users grant telegraf dcos:adminrouter:ops:mesos full

Open Source Authentication

The Open Source DC/OS does not provide service accounts. Instead you can use of the following options:

1. Disable authentication
2. Use the token_file parameter to read a authentication token from a file.

Then token_file can be set by using the [dcos cli] to login periodically. The cli can login for at most XXX days, you will need to ensure the cli performs a new login before this time expires.

dcos auth login --username foo --password bar
dcos config show core.dcos_acs_token > ~/.dcos/token

Another option to create a token_file is to generate a token using the cluster secret. This will allow you to set the expiration date manually or even create a never expiring token. However, if the cluster secret or the token is compromised it cannot be revoked and may require a full reinstall of the cluster. For more information on this technique reference this blog post.
