总揽
这个Hadoop插件可以用来监控Hadoop集群的NameNode和JobTracker。Hadoop is the leading and defacto distributed big data processing system "out there"。然而被像雅虎（据说拥有非常庞大的Hadoop集群），Facebook，Groupon等公司所使用的似乎只有Ganglia和openTSDB两种监控解决方案。当您阅读文档，你会发现这两个监测解决方案是非常紧密的结合Hadoop并且对Hadoop的版本、库等信息十分敏感。
这个Hadoop插件的主旨是在已经运行的Hadoop集群或者Zabbix服务中不需要安装任何软件并且能直接使用。这太好了是真的吗？你为什么不继续把下面的内容读完......
安装和配置
这个Hadoop插件用于从Hadoop的NameNode和JobTracker的Web UI接口截取信息。没有必要添加或者修改任何Hadoop的配置参数或重启你的Hadoop集群。下载这个插件之后你仅需要花费不超过5分钟的时间就能运行这个插件。
这个插件会调用一个叫做curl的命令工具，所以需要先安装这个命令工具。在Zabbix这边，你可以登录root用户（默认密码为zabbix）运行yast -i curl命令。注意虽然curl的包是非常小的，但是yast将花费几分钟的时间重新更新包仓库。接下来下载Hadoop插件它包括2个shell脚本和2个模板xml文件，下载路径是：http://mikoomi.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/。在Zabbix服务器上创建目录/etc/zabbix/externalscripts，并将shell脚本复制到这个目录里面。
完成上述操作后打开浏览器，下载NameNode和JobTracker的模板文件，下载路径是:http://mikoomi.googlecode.com/svn/plugins/。打开一个新的浏览窗口或者标签，登录Zabbix的前端（默认的用户名是admin，密码是zabbix）。
操作如下：
Configuration >> Templates
点击窗口右上角的“Import Template”按钮
在“Import file”对话框内, 找到并选中刚才下载的模板文件。
上传模板
现在你可以开始监控你的Hadoop集群了。使用说明如下：
监控你的Hadoop集群
按照下面的步骤进行：
监控NameNode
登录Zabbix的前端然后点击导航栏上的Configuration >> Hosts
点击右上角的“Create Host”按钮
按照提示填写监控选项 - Name：你选择的名字（在Zabbix中每一个监控实体被称为一个主机 - 但是它可能是一个主机、一个服务、一个程序乃至一个集群）。
完成后单击“templates”选项卡里面的“Add”按钮。
你将看到一个模板列表 - 选择“Template_Hadoop_NameNode”
在“Macros”选项卡里面添加如下宏-
{$HADOOP_NAMENODE_HOST}
{$HADOOP_NAMENODE_METRICS_PORT}
{$ZABBIX_NAME}
{$HADOOP_NAMENODE_HOST}的值应该是NameNode节点服务器的主机名或者完全主机名（可以在网络上ping通）。{$HADOOP_NAMENODE_METRICS_PORT}的值是NameNode的Web UI管理界面的端口。最后{$ZABBIX_NAME}是前面在Zabbix前端定义的NameNode的实体名称。
同样的，安装监控JobTracker的步骤如下 -
监控JobTracker
登录Zabbix的前端然后点击导航栏上的Configuration >> Hosts
点击右上角的“Create Host”按钮
按照提示填写监控选项 - Name：你选择的名字（在Zabbix中每一个监控实体被称为一个主机 - 但是它可能是一个主机、一个服务、一个程序乃至一个集群）。
完成后单击“templates”选项卡里面的“Add”按钮。
你将看到一个模板列表 - 选择“Template_Hadoop_JobTracker”
在“Macros”选项卡里面添加如下宏-
{$HADOOP_JOBTRACKER_HOST}
{$HADOOP_JOBTRACKER_METRICS_PORT}
{$ZABBIX_NAME}
{$HADOOP_NAMENODE_HOST}的值应该是NameNode节点服务器的主机名或者完全主机名（可以在网络上ping通）。{$HADOOP_NAMENODE_METRICS_PORT}的值是NameNode的Web UI管理界面的端口。最后{$ZABBIX_NAME}是前面在Zabbix前端定义的NameNode的实体名称。
