A dockerized tool to view MongoDB FTDC metrics.

Use build.sh to build simagix/ftdc and simagix/grafana-ftdc Docker images.

./build.sh docker

Create a diagnostic.data directory if it doesn't exist yet:

mkdir -p ./diagnostic.data/

Copy FTDC files to under directory diagnostic.data:

cp $SOMEWHERE/metrics.* ./diagnostic.data/

Bring up FTDC viewer:

docker-compose up -d

• View results URL http://localhost:3030/ using a browser.
• Choose MongoDB FTDC Analytics from dashboard.
• Change correct From and To date/time in the Custom Range panel.

To read different FTDC files without restarting all Docker containers, remove all files from directory diagnostic.data and copy FTDC files to under the same directory. Execute the command below to force FTDC data reload:

curl -XPOST http://localhost:5408/grafana/dir -d '{"dir": "/diagnostic.data"}'

A JSON document is returned with information of the new endpoint, begin and end timestamps:

{"endpoint":"/d/simagix-grafana/mongodb-mongo-ftdc?orgId=1\u0026from=1550767345000\u0026to=1550804249000","ok":1}

Alternatively, you can simply run the command docker-compose down to bring down the entire cluster, edit the docker-compose.yaml file to point the diagnostic.data directory to a new location, and run docker-compose up to bring up the cluster again.

docker-compose down
