# Katja VM Stats
Easily send information about the Erlang VM to Riemann.
[](https://travis-ci.org/katja-beam/katja_vmstats) [](https://coveralls.io/r/katja-beam/katja_vmstats?branch=master)
## Status
This is beta software. Things might still change in ways that break everything.
## Configuration
```erlang
% Defaults
[
{katja_vmstats, [
{service, "katja_vmstats"},
{transport, config},
{send_async, false},
{async_sample_rate, 1.0},
{delay_collection, 0},
{collector, [
[
{interval, 1000},
{metrics, [
error_logger_message_queue,
loaded_modules,
memory_atoms,
memory_binaries,
memory_ets,
memory_processes,
memory_system,
memory_total,
port_count,
port_limit,
port_utilization,
process_count,
process_limit,
process_utilization,
run_queue
]}
]
]}
]}
].
```
**service**: Base value for the `service` field of events
**transport**: The message transport that should be used (supported: `config`, `detect`, `udp`, `tcp`)
**send_async**: Wether or not data should be send to Riemann asynchronously
**async_sample_rate**: Sample rate that will be used if messages are send asynchronously (useful if not *every* collection has to be send to Riemann all the time)
**delay_collection**: Delays the initial collection of metrics by the specified amount of milliseconds
**collector**: A list of metrics that will be collected in the given interval(s)
## Examples
In general, you don't have to do anything (apart from maybe changing the default configuration) to make `katja_vmstats` work.
A list of all available, collectable metrics can be found in the `katja_vmstats_metrics` module. Every exported function defined in that module can be collected.
### Collecting metrics manually
```erlang
ok = katja_vmstats:collect(ets_count),
ok = katja_vmstats:collect([ets_limit, ets_utilization]),
ok = katja_vmstats:collect({"katja_vmstats_collector_message_queue", message_queue, [katja_vmstats_collector]}),
ok = katja_vmstats:collect({"process_limit", erlang, system_info, [process_limit]}).
```
`katja_vmstats:collect/1` takes a single `katja_vmstats:metric()` or a list of `katja_vmstats:metric()`. The following "formats" are supported:
* `atom()`: A function defined and exported in the `katja_vmstats_metrics` module.
* `{iolist(), atom(), [any()]}`: A function defined and exported in the `katja_vmstats_metrics` module. The first tuple field is the name of the metric, the second and the third field are the *FA* part of *MFA*.
* `{iolist(), module(), atom(), [any()]}`: Any function in any module that returns a `number()`. The first tuple field is the name of the metric, the following fields are *MFA*.
### Working with collections
```erlang
AllCollections = katja_vmstats:get_collection(all), % => [[{name, config}, {metrics, […]}, {interval, 1000}, {send_async, false}, {async_sample_rate, 1.0}]]
ConfigCollection = katja_vmstats:get_collection(config). % => [[{name, config}, {metrics, […]}, {interval, 1000}, {send_async, false}, {async_sample_rate, 1.0}]]
```
You can get a list of registered collections using `katja_vmstats:get_collection/1`. If a collection consists of multiple `katja_vmstats:collection()` entries, it will show up multiple times in the returned list.
The collections that are specified via configuration options will always be registered under the name `config`. You can get all intervals by setting the name to `all`.
```erlang
Metrics = [{"reductions_process", reductions_process, [katja_vmstats_collector]}],
ok = katja_vmstats:start_collection(demo, [{interval, 1000}, {metrics, Metrics}]),
AllCollections = katja_vmstats:get_collection(all), % => [[…], […]]
DemoCollection = katja_vmstats:get_collection(demo). % => [[{name, demo}, {metrics, […]}, {interval, 1000}, {send_async, false}, {async_sample_rate, 1.0}]]
```
You can start new collections using `katja_vmstats:start_collection/2`. The first argument is the name of the collection and the second argument is a property list (or a list of property lists) in the format of `katja_vmstats:collection()`. The `name` attribute of the property list will be ignored.
```erlang
ok = katja_vmstats:stop_collection(demo),
AllCollections = katja_vmstats:get_collection(all). % => [[{name, config}, {metrics, […]}, {interval, 1000}, {send_async, false}, {async_sample_rate, 1.0}]]
```
Collections can be stopped using `katja_vmstats:stop_collection/1`. You can set the name to `all` in order to stop all registered collections.
