Deprecated in version 1.7: Please use the jolokia2 plugin with the cassandra.conf example configuration.
Plugin arguments:
- context string: Context root used for jolokia url
- servers []string: List of servers with the format "user:passwd@:port"
- metrics []string: List of Jmx paths that identify mbeans attributes
Description
The Cassandra plugin collects Cassandra 3 / JVM metrics exposed as MBean's attributes through jolokia REST endpoint. All metrics are collected for each server configured.
See: https://jolokia.org/ and Cassandra Documentation
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:
# Read Cassandra metrics through Jolokia
[[inputs.cassandra]]
## DEPRECATED: The cassandra plugin has been deprecated. Please use the
## jolokia2 plugin instead.
##
## see https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/jolokia2
context = "/jolokia/read"
## List of cassandra servers exposing jolokia read service
servers = ["myuser:mypassword@10.10.10.1:8778","10.10.10.2:8778",":8778"]
## List of metrics collected on above servers
## Each metric consists of a jmx path.
## This will collect all heap memory usage metrics from the jvm and
## ReadLatency metrics for all keyspaces and tables.
## "type=Table" in the query works with Cassandra3.0. Older versions might
## need to use "type=ColumnFamily"
metrics = [
"/java.lang:type=Memory/HeapMemoryUsage",
"/org.apache.cassandra.metrics:type=Table,keyspace=*,scope=*,name=ReadLatency"
]
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.
