Overview ¶
Package module contains the low-level utilities for running Metricbeat modules and metricsets. This is useful for building your own tool that has a module and sub-module concept. If you want to reuse the whole Metricbeat framework see the github.com/elastic/beats/metricbeat/beater package that provides a higher level interface.
This contains the tools for instantiating modules, running them, and connecting their outputs to the Beat's output pipeline.

Functions ¶
func PublishChannels ¶
PublishChannels publishes the events read from each channel to the given publisher client. If the publisher client blocks for any reason then events will not be read from the given channels.
This method blocks until all of the channels have been closed and are fully read. To stop the method immediately, close the channels and close the publisher client to ensure that publishing does not block. This may result is some events being discarded.
Types ¶
type Connector ¶
type Connector struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Connector configures and establishes a beat.Client for publishing events to the publisher pipeline.
func NewConnector ¶
type Factory ¶
type Factory struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Factory creates new Runner instances from configuration objects. It is used to register and reload modules.
func NewFactory ¶
NewFactory creates new Reloader instance for the given config
type Option ¶
type Option func(wrapper *Wrapper)
Option specifies some optional arguments used for configuring the behavior of a module Wrapper.
func WithEventModifier ¶
func WithEventModifier(modifier mb.EventModifier) Option
WithEventModifier attaches an EventModifier that will be executed for each event generated by the MetricSets of the module. Multiple EventModifiers can be added and they will be executed in the order in which they were added.
func WithMaxStartDelay ¶
WithMaxStartDelay specifies the upper bound for the random startup delay for each MetricSet in the module. By default there is no delay.
func WithMetricSetInfo ¶
func WithMetricSetInfo() Option
WithMetricSetInfo attaches an EventModifier that adds information about the MetricSet that generated the event. It will always add the metricset and module names. And it will add the host and rtt (round-trip time in microseconds) values if they are non-zero values.
"metricset": { "host": "apache", "module": "apache", "name": "status", "rtt": 115 }
type Runner ¶
type Runner interface { // Start starts the Module. If Start is called more than once, only the // first will start the Module. Start() // Stop stops the Module and waits for module's MetricSets to exit. The // publisher.Client will be closed by Stop. If Stop is called more than // once, only the first stop the Module and wait for it to exit. Stop() }
Runner is a facade for a Wrapper that provides a simple interface for starting and stopping a Module.
Example ¶
ExampleRunner demonstrates how to use Runner to start and stop a module.
Output:
type Wrapper ¶
Wrapper contains the Module and the private data associated with running the Module and its MetricSets.
Use NewWrapper or NewWrappers to construct new Wrappers.
Example ¶
ExampleWrapper demonstrates how to create a single Wrapper from configuration, start the module, and consume events generated by the module.
Output: { "@metadata": { "beat": "noindex", "type": "doc", "version": "1.2.3" }, "@timestamp": "2016-05-10T23:27:58.485Z", "fake": { "eventfetcher": { "metric": 1 } }, "metricset": { "module": "fake", "name": "eventfetcher", "rtt": 111 } }
func NewWrapper ¶
NewWrapper create a new Module and its associated MetricSets based on the given configuration.
func (*Wrapper) MetricSets ¶
func (mw *Wrapper) MetricSets() []*metricSetWrapper
MetricSets return the list of metricsets of the module
func (*Wrapper) Start ¶
Start starts the Module's MetricSet workers which are responsible for fetching metrics. The workers will continue to periodically fetch until the done channel is closed. When the done channel is closed all MetricSet workers will stop and the returned output channel will be closed.
The returned channel is buffered with a length one one. It must drained to prevent blocking the operation of the MetricSets.
Start should be called only once in the life of a Wrapper.
