Install components separately

This page describes how to do individual installs of the Aerospike monitoring stack components.

The following diagram is an example of the Aerospike monitoring stack. It shows the monitoring of two Aerospike databases and an outbound connector.

Prerequisites

If the components that you want to monitor are already deployed, then skip to step 2. Otherwise, follow one or both of these steps, depending on your use case:

• Deploy one or more instances of Aerospike Database Enterprise Edition. For instructions about deploying an Aerospike database, see “System Overview”.
• Install one or more instances of an Aerospike outbound connector. For instructions about deploying outbound connectors, see Streaming from Aerospike.

Install the components of Layer 1

Install an instance of Aerospike Prometheus Exporter for each Aerospike database that you want to monitor.

You can download and install Aerospike Prometheus Exporter from a package, or you can clone the GitHub repository and compile from source.
