nodejs-connector-of-datastream

Nodes js program will connect to Akamai datastream using Aggregate logs endpoint and integrates data with Prometheus and Graphana for data visualization

Setup

1. Initialize your environment

To initialize your environment you need to have Docker and NodeJs installed.

Once docker is installed, run: docker-compose create and then docker-compose start

Once docker environment is initialized, you will have the following components available:

1. Prometheus: http://localhost:9090
2. Pushgateway: http://localhost:9091
3. Grafana: http://localhost:3000

After that install the required node dependencies by running npm install.

2. Configuration

There is a config file config.js in the root of the project. Make sure you update the config information to match your setup.

3. Run the scraping job

The scraping job is a node application that fetches new logs from Akamai DataStream every minute, and then pushes the data into Prometheus.

To start the scraping job, run npm start

4. View your data

Point your browser to http://localhost:3000 to open Grafana. If Grafana is freshly installed, the default credentials are set to username: admin and password: admin.

Once inside Grafana, create a new data source, select Prometheus and use http://localhost:9090 and browser as the configuration details.

Once the data source is configured, create a new dashboard by importing grafana-prometheus.json file.

After a few minutes once your scraping job is running, and you have traffic on your website, the graphs should show up.
