Tintri Stats

This is a simple app that runs either in a Docker container or in OpenShift using the Python 2.7 template. The docker container is published as genebean/tintri-stats It connects to a specified Tintri VMstore, gathers metrics, and sends them to a specified Graphite server. Optionally, you could also point this at a Tintri Global Center instance. To collect metrics from multiple VMstores you will need to run multiple instances of this app.

Usage

There are five parameters used by the tintri_graphite.py application:

  • vmstore_fqdn = the fqdn of your Tintri's admin interface
  • vmstore_username = a read-only account on your Tintri
  • vmstore_password = the password for the read-only account
  • graphite_fqdn = the fqdn of your Graphite server
  • graphite_port = 2003 (adjust if needed)

Docker

To run in docker you will need to pass in the parameters listed above like so:

$ read -s vmstore_password
# type / paste your password (it won't be displayed)
$ docker run \
  --name stats-4-tintri-admin-opdx-prod-1 \
  genebean/tintri-stats \
  python tintri_graphite.py tintri-array1.example.com stats_user $vmstore_password graphite.example.com 2003

OpenShift

If running from OpenShift you will need to set the parameters above as environment variables along with a sixth one:

  • APP_FILE = tintri_graphite.py

Interactive / Command Line

If running interactively, you can also pass the last 5 of these as command line arguments like so:

read -s vmstore_password
# type / paste your password (it won't be displayed)
python tintri_graphite.py vmstore_fqdn vmstore_username $vmstore_password graphite_fqdn graphite_port
