How to monitor and debug a Storm topology.
To monitor and debug Storm topologies, you can utilize the following tools and methods:
- Storm UI: Storm provides a web interface to monitor the operational status, task allocation, throughput, and other information of topologies.
- Log Files: Storm will record the log information of each component, by checking the log files, you can understand the running status of the topology and identify any potential issues.
- Monitoring Metrics: You can use the Metrics library to monitor metrics such as throughput and latency of the topology, and configure alert mechanisms.
- Debug mode: Storm provides a debug mode that allows you to run and debug topologies locally to quickly identify issues.
- With the tools provided by Storm, such as storm list and storm kill, users can manage the running status of topologies.
- Third-party monitoring tools can be utilized, such as Ganglia or Prometheus, to monitor the performance and operation status of Storm topologies.
