NetdataForAtlassian

@wjkennedy I think you are the author of https://bitbucket.org/wkennedy/netdataforatlassian/wiki/Home

I run jira and I monitor it with netdata, so I have a few suggestions to make for your wiki:

1. Enable systemd services monitoring for debian: https://github.com/firehol/netdata/wiki/monitoring-systemd-services#how-to-enable-cgroup-accounting-on-systemd-systems-that-is-by-default-disabled

2. Add Atlassian applications for apps.plugin. Now your wiki provides screenshots for java applications. You can add all Atlassian apps at /etc/netdata/apps_groups.conf. On my system I have these (add them before java):

jira: */opt/atlassian/jira*

If we add such patterns, netdata will be able to provide separate chart dimensions for each of the atlassian apps, even when they run on the same server (without these patterns, netdata will group them together as java).

3. Using the latest version of netdata (like you do), you can press ALT on the keyboard and then select an area of interest at a chart. netdata will highlight that area on all charts of the dashboard, like this:

4. On my installation I chose to proxy jira through an nginx running on the same host. This provided an access.log file, which was automatically picked up by netdata and allowed me to have charts like these:

The best part is that I can get jira API timings:

and with a bit of netdata customization, I can get a real-time view of which jira API methods are called:

For this customization I edited /etc/netdata/python.d/web_log.conf, removed the default jobs and added this one:

jira_nginxlog:
  path: '/var/log/nginx/access.log'
  categories:
    tempo: '.*[Tt][Ee][Mm][Pp][Oo].*'
    download: '.*/download/.*'
    images: '.*/images/.*'
    gadget: '.*/gadgets?/.*'
    scriptrunner: '.*/scriptrunner/.*'
    analytics: '.*/analytics/.*'
    slack: '.*/slack/.*'
    hipchat: '.*/hipchat/.*'
    raven: '.*/raven/.*'
    servicedesk: '.*/servicedesk/.*'
    issue: '^/jira/rest/api/2/issue/.*'
    stub_status: '.*stub_status.*'
    search: '.*/jira/rest/api/2/search.*'
    webresources: '.*/rest/webResources/1.0/resources.*'
    avatar: '.*/jira/secure/(user|view)avatar.*'
    comment_template: '.*/comment-templates/.*'
    other: '.*'

It would be best if we could have an official list of all the interesting jira patterns.

plugin uses re.search:

Scan through string looking for the first location where the regular expression pattern produces a match

So
all patterns should be
/PATTERN/ not .* /PATTERN/. *

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

FWIW: This is not part of the Netdata project, just a blog I maintain.

I have added your comments to a new 'Feedback' section: https://bitbucket.org/wkennedy/netdataforatlassian/wiki/Feedback%20and%20Followup

@ktsaou Can this be closed?

[ktsaou]

Yes, I think it can.
