Chapter 1. Workflow and architecture

To install Metrics Store, complete the following major tasks:

  1. Create the Metrics Store virtual machines.
  2. Deploy Metrics Store services on Red Hat OpenShift.
  3. Configure networking for Metrics Store virtual machines.
  4. Deploy collectd and rsyslog.
  5. Verify the Metrics Store installation.

Metrics Store architecture

The Metrics Store architecture is based on the Red Hat OpenShift EFK logging stack, running on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.11.

Metrics Store uses the following services:

  • collectd (hosts) collects metrics from hosts, virtual machines, and databases.
  • rsyslog (hosts) collects metrics, adds log data, enriches the data with metadata, and sends the enriched data to Elasticsearch.
  • Elasticsearch (Metrics Store virtual machine) stores and indexes the data.
  • Kibana (Metrics Store virtual machine) analyzes and presents the data as dashboards and charts.
