Before using this plugin

citrusleaf.py

This blackbird-aerospike module requires a python module called citrusleaf Although it is citrusleaf, it is included in the package of ʻaerospike-tools, so either install it on the server that starts blackbird, or extract cistrusleaf.pyfrom the package and put it somewhere insys.path`. Please

Eliminate daemon.py

ʻIf you install aerospike-tools, / opt / aerospike / lib / pythonwill be added tosys.path Actually,/opt/aerospike/lib/python/daemon.py is the songwriter, and it conflicts with python-daemonand blackbird does not start (as of Aerospike 3.4.0). So rename/opt/aerospike/lib/python/daemon.py`

This /opt/aerospike/lib/python/daemon.py is imported from ʻasgraphite, so when using ʻasgraphite, please change the import part in ʻasgraphite` to the name after rename.

Check if data is coming in on Zabbix

Zabbix Templates can be found in github repository Please import to Zabbix and apply to the target server

** If the host name on Zabbix and the host name of the server on which blackbird is running are different, you need to set the hostname on /etc/blackbird/conf.d/aerospike.cfg ** Please match with Zabbix

ini:/etc/blackbird/conf.d/aerospike.cfg

hostname = your_static_hostname

Other

• This module has been tested with Aerospike 3.3.26 and 3.4.0
• In case of Aerospike 3.4.0, there is an item that cannot be obtained because there is a problem that some formats of asinfo (value that can be taken by citrusleaf) are broken.
