cassandra 2.0.10 is dumping metrics file in the location specified in metrics-reporter-config.yaml for every 10 seconds. but it is dumping in the same file "metrics.out". how to create new metrics file after old metrics file has reached a threshold size.
How do I configure the metrics reporter on Cassandra 2.0 to create a new metrics file based on size threshold?
The Metrics Reporter plugin isn't part of the Cassandra code-base but I don't believe you can configure it to create a new output file based on a threshold. You will need to look at other methods to achieve the outcome you want.
For example, you can try the Linux logrotate utility. You can add the following to /etc/logrotate.d/cassandra:
/path/to/metrics.out {
size 10M
rotate 7
missingok
copytruncate
compress
}
This configuration will rotate metrics.out when it reaches 10MB and keep 7 zipped copies.
Of course, this is just an example so see the man pages on the logrotate utility and consult with your sysadmin if you have any follow up questions since this isn't a Cassandra component. Cheers!
