ABS Monitoring

Aerospike Backup Service (ABS) exposes system metrics that Prometheus can scrape.

To monitor ABS, append ABS_server_IP:8080 to the targets list in your Prometheus configuration. You can change the ABS monitoring port with the service.http.port parameter.

In the following example, the targets list shows three IP addresses for Aerospike Prometheus Exporter at port 9145, representing three Aerospike Database servers, and one Aerospike Backup Service at port 8080.

/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: aerospike
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['172.31.26.127:9145','172.31.28.182:9145','172.31.29.46:9145','172.31.19.113:8080']
