Verify Vector-LDMS Pipeline

This page provides verification steps for the Vector-LDMS pipeline that routes LDMS metrics from Kafka to VictoriaMetrics.

Prerequisites

• The Configure LDMS Telemetry procedure is complete, with Vector-LDMS bridge enabled.
• LDMS telemetry is configured and the store_avro_kafka plugin is producing to the Kafka ldms topic.

Verify Vector-LDMS Telemetry Pods

1. Verify that the Vector-LDMS pod is running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get pods -n telemetry | grep vector-ldms
   

   

2. Verify that the vmagent-vector pod is running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get pods -n telemetry | grep vmagent-vector
   

   

3. Verify that the VictoriaMetrics service is running:

   Run on K8s control plane

   kubectl get service -n telemetry | grep vm
   

   

View LDMS Metrics in VictoriaMetrics UI (VMUI)

1. Note the External IP and port number of the VictoriaMetrics service.

2. Access the VMUI in a web browser:

   https://<external vmselect loadbalancer IP>:8481/select/0/vmui
   

3. Verify that metrics are reaching VictoriaMetrics by querying the VMUI. For example, the following query displays LDMS-related metrics:

   {__name__=~"ldms_.*"}
