ZookeeperMonitoring Technical Reference

Overview

Zookeeper monitoring is a Gateway configuration file that enables monitoring of the Zookeeper Replicas through a set of samplers with customised JMX plug-in settings.

Zookeeperis a distributed process that allows deployment configurations and can be used as a container manager. It has a built-in load balancing capability that can manage multiple services in different machines simultaneously.

Track the following key areas when using Zookeeper monitoring:

Key Area Description
Replica configuration Refers to the configuration settings the users can set.
