🚀 Introduction

Engine Performance Analytics Tool is multi-threaded Python-based project that:​

• Fetches performance metrics from Delphix Engines every 1 minute.​
• Stores the data in InfluxDB, a high-performance time-series database.​
• Integrated this script with Telegraf, allowing it to run automatically at 1-minute intervals.​
• Using Grafana, which integrates seamlessly with InfluxDB, we built a configurable dashboard:​
  • Includes default graphs.​
  • Allows users to add custom queries for specific metrics.​
• This approach decouples time-series data from other databases, reducing system load and improving performance visualization.

🛠️ Technology Stack

• Telegraf – Data collection agent
• InfluxDB – Time-series database
• Grafana – Visualization and alerting platform
• Python – Scripting to fetch data from Delphix Engines
• Docker – Build and deploy the entire stack as containers

▶️ How to Run

• Clone the repository
• Ensure docker-compose is installed on your system
• Update the scripts/engine_performance/config.json file to include the Delphix engines and their credentials for which you want to fetch data.
• Run the following commands:

docker compose build  
docker compose up -d

This will spin up all required containers (InfluxDB, Telegraf, Grafana) on a shared Docker network.

🔐 Default Credentials

• The default username/password for InfluxDB and Grafana is admin/Delphix@123.
• However, you can change these credentials in the docker-compose.yml file.
• Make sure to update the same credentials in:
  • telegraf.conf
  • scripts/engine_performance/config.json
  • These files reference the credentials inside the Docker containers.

🌐 Default Access URLs

• InfluxDB: http://<host-ip>:8086
• Grafana: http://<host-ip>:3000
