> Monitor the running status of the Apache IoTDB Internet of Things time series database (JVM-related), memory task clusters and other related Metrics.

## Operation before monitoring

You need to enable the `metrics` function in IoTDB, which will provide interface data in the form of prometheus metrics.

To enable the `metrics` function, refer to [Official Documentation](https://iotdb.apache.org/UserGuide/V0.13.x/Maintenance-Tools/Metric-Tool.html)

The main steps are as follows:

1. The metric collection is disabled by default, you need to modify the parameters in `conf/iotdb-metric.yml` first, then restart the server

    ```yaml
    # Whether to start the monitoring module, the default is false
    enableMetric: true
    
    # Whether to enable operation delay statistics
    enablePerformanceStat: false
    
    # Data provision method, externally provide metrics data through jmx and prometheus protocol, optional parameters: [JMX, PROMETHEUS, IOTDB], IOTDB is closed by default.
    metricReporterList:
       - JMX
       - PROMETHEUS
    
    # The metric architecture used at the bottom layer, optional parameters: [MICROMETER, DROPWIZARD]
    monitorType: MICROMETER
    
    # Initialize the level of the metric, optional parameters: [CORE, IMPORTANT, NORMAL, ALL]
    metricLevel: IMPORTANT
    
    # Predefined metrics set, optional parameters: [JVM, LOGBACK, FILE, PROCESS, SYSTEM]
    predefinedMetrics:
       - JVM
       - FILE
    ```

2. Restart IoTDB, open a browser or use curl to access http://servier_ip:9091/metrics, and you can see the metric data.

3. Add the corresponding IoTDB monitoring in HertzBeat.

### Configuration parameters

| Parameter name | Parameter help description |
|----------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Monitoring Host | The peer IPV4, IPV6 or domain name to be monitored. Note ⚠️Without protocol header (eg: https://, http://). |
| Monitoring name | The name that identifies this monitoring, and the name needs to be unique. |
| Port | The port provided by the IoTDB Metric interface, which is 9091 by default. |
| Timeout | HTTP request query timeout |
| Acquisition Interval | Interval time for monitoring periodic data collection, in seconds, the minimum interval that can be set is 30 seconds |
| Whether to detect | Whether to detect and check the availability of monitoring before adding monitoring, and the operation of adding and modifying will continue after the detection is successful |
| Description Remarks | More remark information to identify and describe this monitoring, users can remark information here |
