How to Install OpenTSDB on Windows 10

OpenTSDB is a distributed, scalable, and reliable system for storing and querying time series data. It is widely used in the monitoring and metrics community. This tutorial will show you how to install OpenTSDB on Windows 10.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to have the following:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or later installed on your system
• Git installed on your system
• Maven installed on your system
• HBase installed and running on your system

Step 1: Clone the OpenTSDB Repository

Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the OpenTSDB repository. Then, run the following command:

git clone git://github.com/OpenTSDB/opentsdb.git

This will clone the OpenTSDB repository into a new directory called opentsdb.

Step 2: Compile OpenTSDB

In the command prompt, navigate to the opentsdb directory:

cd opentsdb

Next, run the following command to compile OpenTSDB:

mvn compile

This will download all the necessary dependencies and compile OpenTSDB. It may take some time to complete.

Step 3: Create the OpenTSDB Tables in HBase

Before you can use OpenTSDB, you need to create the necessary tables in HBase. To do this, navigate to the opentsdb directory and run the following command:

env COMPRESSION=NONE HBASE_HOME=<path_to_hbase_home> ./src/create_table.sh

Replace <path_to_hbase_home> with the path to your HBase installation. For example, if you installed HBase in C:\hbase, you would run the following command:

env COMPRESSION=NONE HBASE_HOME=C:\hbase ./src/create_table.sh

This will create the necessary tables in HBase.

Step 4: Start the OpenTSDB Server

To start the OpenTSDB server, navigate to the opentsdb directory and run the following command:

env COMPRESSION=NONE HBASE_HOME=<path_to_hbase_home> ./build/tsdb tsd --port=4242 --staticroot=./build/staticroot --cachedir=./build/cache --auto-metric --zkquorum=<zk_quorum_host:port>

Replace <path_to_hbase_home> with the path to your HBase installation, and <zk_quorum_host:port> with the hostname and port number of your ZooKeeper quorum. For example, if you installed HBase in C:\hbase and your ZooKeeper quorum is running on localhost:2181, you would run the following command:

env COMPRESSION=NONE HBASE_HOME=C:\hbase ./build/tsdb tsd --port=4242 --staticroot=./build/staticroot --cachedir=./build/cache --auto-metric --zkquorum=localhost:2181

This will start the OpenTSDB server.

Step 5: Verify the OpenTSDB Installation

To verify that OpenTSDB is running correctly, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4242. You should see the OpenTSDB web interface.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenTSDB on Windows 10!
