Apache HBase

Apache HBase is an open-source non-relational distributed database modeled after Google Bigtable and written in Java. It is developed as part of Apache Software Foundation Apache Hadoop project and runs on top of HDFS or Alluxio, providing Bigtable-like capabilities for Hadoop.

Prerequisites

1. In standard installation (extracting the tar), specify the JMX Port using the environment variable.
2. Add the following to ~/.bashrc

HBASE_HOME=<directory where hbase is extracted>
export HBASE_CONF_DIR=$HBASE_HOME/conf

3. Go to the configuration directory in the HBase folder.

• In the file hbase-env.sh uncomment line JAVA_HOME and add the appropriate Java path.
• uncomment the following lines to enable JMX:

  export HBASE_JMX_BASE="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false"
      
  export HBASE_MASTER_OPTS="$HBASE_MASTER_OPTS $HBASE_JMX_BASE -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=<port>"
      
  export HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS="$HBASE_REGIONSERVER_OPTS $HBASE_JMX_BASE -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=<port>"
  

4. For Virtual Machines, install the Linux Agent.

Configuring the credentials

Configure the credentials in the directory /opt/opsramp/agent/conf/app.d/creds.yaml

hbase:
- name: hbase
  user: <username>
  pwd: <Password>
  encoding-type: plain
  labels:
    key1: val1
    key2: val2

Configuring the application

Virtual machine

Configure the application in the directory /opt/opsramp/agent/conf/app/discovery/auto-detection.yaml

- name: hbase
  instance-checks:
    process-check:
      - hbase
    port-check:
      - 60010
  mon-type: "jmx"
  misc:
    jmx-port: "7199"

Docker environment

Configure the application in the directory /opt/opsramp/agent/conf/app/discovery/auto-container-detection.yaml

- name: hbase
  container-checks:
    image-check:
      - hbase
    port-check:
      - 60010
  mon-type: "jmx"
  misc:
    jmx-port: "7199"

Kubernetes environment

Configure the application in config.yaml

- name: hbase
  container-checks:
    image-check:
      - hbase
    port-check:
      - 60010
  mon-type: "jmx"
  misc:
    jmx-port: "7199"

• Adjust the jmx-port according to the jmx port used.
• jmx-port is required to enable remote JMX.
