Howto run netstat.py

[Jay Nair]

Hi,

New to this and so a newbie question. I am able to run 'startstop' and
it says the program has started. I have set the TSD_HOST and
TCOLLECTOR_PATH in the script.

When I run netstat.py by itself, it prints the data to stdout. How do
I make this data reach hbase. What is the correct way to run
netstat.py? Is tcollector supposed to run all the collectors in the
'collectors dir?

Thanks

Yes, tcollector will automatically run any executable it finds in
subdirectories of `collectors' and send data to a TSD. If that
doesn't work, you'd have to look at collector's log to find out why.

Great.

At this time you cannot send new data points over HTTP. You have to
open a normal TCP socket and then write "put java.message <unixtime>
<value> <string>\n" to the socket.

Thanks Benoit. The TCP put works and I see data getting in.
