Overview

This extension utilizes Consul's built-in StatsD export capability to collect metrics from non-Kubernetes Consul instances, both self-managed instances and instances that are managed by HCP Consul.

This is intended for users who want to:

  • Monitor Consul clients.
  • Monitor self-managed Consul server instances.

This enables you to:

  • Monitor Consul agent performance for both clients and self-managed server instances.
  • Set up alerting for anomalies that lead to performance issues.
  • Visualize service mesh status and performance on dashboards.
  • Leverage Dynatrace StatsD integration to ingest telemetry data from non-containerized Consul agents

Compatibility Requirements

No specific version requirements. Please note that HCP Consul users can export client metrics only.

Requires Dynatrace StatsD integration for metric ingestion. See Dynatrace StatsD documentation for details.

Details

This extension includes dashboards and alerts for the Consul control plane. It supports Dynatrace metric ingestion via StatsD. For non-K8s Consul servers, metric export must be manually configured. This extension supports both HCP Consul and self-managed Consul instances. Consul server metrics are only applicable for the self-managed version of Consul. Dynatrace supports Consul client metrics for both self-managed Consul instances as well as HCP Consul instances. This extension has been validated for use with HCP Consul.

HCP Consul Verified

HCP Consul Verified: The Dynatrace Consul integration has been verified by HashiCorp for both SaaS and managed use.

Get Started

1. Begin collecting Consul metrics via StatsD

For details on gathering Consul control plane metrics via StatsD, see our blog post: Automatic intelligent observability into your HashiCorp Consul service mesh. Following setup, you can verify if the integration works as expected by looking for Consul-related metrics using the Dynatrace metric browser. Check for metrics that have the consul prefix.

2. Add the extension to your Dynatrace environment

To add this extension to your environment, click Add to environment on the extension’s page in the Dynatrace Hub. After activating the extension, select Dashboards in Dynatrace. You should now see a pre-configured dashboard for Consul - Control Plane.

3. Activate metric events for alerting

The extension comes with the two pre-configured metric events for alerting. To activate them:

  • From the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings > Anomaly detection > Custom events for alerting.
  • Find the following events
  • Consul - Autopilot Unhealthy: notifies you if the value of Consul autopilot health falls below 1 for 3 minutes during any 5-minute period.
  • Consul - Dead Agents Detected: notifies you if there is more than 1 dead agent (failed serf member) detected for 3 minutes during any 5-minute period.
  • If necessary, select Edit to customize the event conditions.
  • To activate an event, set its toggle to the On position.
