Configuring Monitoring Metric Dumping

You can configure interconnection parameters on MRS Manager to save monitoring metric data to a specified FTP server using the FTP or SFTP protocol. In this way, MRS clusters can interconnect with third-party systems. The FTP protocol does not encrypt data, which brings potential security risks. Therefore, the SFTP protocol is recommended.

MRS Manager supports the collection of all the monitoring metric data in the managed clusters. The collection period is 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 300 seconds. The monitoring metric data is stored to different monitoring files on the FTP server by collection period. The monitoring file naming rule is in the "Cluster name_metric_Monitoring metric data collection period_File saving time.log" format.

Prerequisites

The ECS corresponding to the dump server must be in the same VPC as the Master node of the MRS cluster, and the Master node can access the IP address and specified port of the dump server. The FTP service on the dump server is running properly.

Procedure

On MRS Manager, click System.
In Configuration, click Configure Monitoring Metric Dump under Monitoring and Alarm.

Table 1 describes dump parameters.

**Table 1** Dump parameters
Parameter	Description
FTP IP Address	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the FTP server for storing monitoring files after the monitoring indicator data is interconnected.
FTP Port	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the port connected to the FTP server.
FTP Username	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the username for logging in to the FTP server.
FTP Password	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the password for logging in to the FTP server.
Save Path	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the path for storing monitoring files on the FTP server.
Dump Interval (s)	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the interval at which monitoring files are periodically stored on the FTP server, in seconds.
Dump Mode	Mandatory. This parameter specifies the protocol used for sending monitoring files. This parameter is mandatory. The options are FTP and SFTP.
SFTP Public Key	Optional. This parameter specifies the public key of the FTP server and is valid only when Dump Mode is set to SFTP. You are advised to configure a public key. Otherwise, security risks may arise.
