etcd KV Store Integration

etcd is a consistent, distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data that needs to be accessed by a distributed system or cluster of machines.

  1. etcd: This explains the installation and configuration of Telegraf to send etcd KV Store performance metrics to Operations for Applications. Telegraf is a light-weight server process that can collect, process, aggregate and send metrics to a Wavefront proxy.

  2. etcd on Kubernetes: This explains the configuration of Kubernetes Metrics Collector to scrape etcd metrics using auto-discovery.

In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also installs dashboards:

  • etcd
  • etcd on Kubernetes

Here’s the screenshot of etcd on Kubernetes dashboard displaying etcd metrics:
