Aerospike Integration with OpenObserve

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to collect and monitor Aerospike metrics using OpenTelemetry Collector and forward them to OpenObserve.

Overview

Aerospike is a high-performance, distributed database designed for low-latency, real-time data processing. By integrating Aerospike with OpenTelemetry and OpenObserve, you can:

  • Detect performance bottlenecks
  • Gain insights into resource usage
  • Monitor database health and metrics in real time

Steps to Integrate

Prerequisites
Step 1: Install OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib

Download and install the latest release of otelcol-contrib:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fOL https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases/download/v0.115.1/otelcol-contrib_0.115.1_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
tar -xvf otelcol-contrib_0.115.1_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
sudo mv otelcol-contrib /usr/local/bin/
otelcol-contrib --version

Replace v0.115.1 with the latest version for your OS/architecture.

Step 2: Configure the Collector

Create a file named config.yaml with the following configuration:

receivers:
  aerospike:
    endpoint: "localhost:3000"

processors:
  batch:
    send_batch_size: 10000
    send_batch_max_size: 11000
    timeout: 10s

exporters:
  otlphttp/openobserve:
    endpoint: https://<your-openobserve-endpoint>/api/default
    headers:
      Authorization: Basic <your_auth_token>
      stream-name: default

service:
  pipelines:
    metrics:
      receivers: [aerospike]
      processors: [batch]
      exporters: [otlphttp/openobserve]

Replace <your-openobserve-endpoint> and <your_auth_token> with your OpenObserve details.

Step 3: Run the Collector

Start the Collector with your configuration:

otelcol-contrib --config /path/to/config.yaml

Run the Collector

Step 4: Visualize in OpenObserve
  1. Open OpenObserve → Streams and select your metrics stream.
    Visualize Aerospike Metrics
  2. Explore the metrics, run queries , create dashboards for insights Visualize Aerospike Metrics

Troubleshooting

Collector not starting
  • Check the logs for misconfigurations:
No metrics in OpenObserve
  • Verify Aerospike is running: systemctl status aerospike
  • Check if the Aerospike receiver is binding to the correct port (default: 3000).
  • Confirm your OPENOBSERVE_TOKEN and OPENOBSERVE_STREAM are correct.
