solr-status

A simple collectd plugin written in Go that gathers metrics from an Apache Solr instance.

Some graphs made with Grafana using data collected by this plugin.

I needed a simple way to export few metrics from a standalone Solr instance. I was already using collectd, InfluxDB & Grafana, so I wrote this plugin to export the data and be able to build some nice graphs with it.

• Build the binary and copy it to a viable directory (e.g /usr/lib/collectd/plugins/solr-status)
• Add an entry in the collectd config file to call the plugin. This would work:

# Replace "solr.server.com" with your Solr's FQDN or ip address, and "MyIndex" with your index name. 
# Optionally you can enforce HTTPS by adding the "--https" parameter.

LoadPlugin exec
<Plugin exec>
    Exec "collectd-plugin" "/usr/lib/collectd/plugins/solr-status" "--server" "solr.server.com" "--core" "MyIndex"
</Plugin>
