Cassandra Performance Monitoring Tool

Improve database performance through proactive Cassandra monitoring

Proactively monitor your Cassandra database

Cassandra monitoring requires a proactive approach to avoid performance issues, including bottlenecks and slowdowns, which could affect end users. But with Cassandra signature node replication, it can be difficult to pinpoint and troubleshoot issues. To ensure functionality and high availability at scale, you need a robust Cassandra monitoring tool to address slowdowns and head off cluster failure.

SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is designed to help you drill down into individual Cassandra nodes to find and resolve the root causes of performance issues.

Track essential Cassandra performance metrics

Effective Cassandra monitoring revolves around continuously monitoring a wide range of Cassandra performance metrics. These metrics measure different elements of the database and can help reveal issues that could impact overall performance and slowdowns.

SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor keeps track of important Cassandra performance metrics, including Cassandra JMX metrics, by aggregating them and creating clear visual representations, so DBAs can get to the bottom of any potential Cassandra database problems fast. SAM is built to monitor metrics tied to:

  • Throughput
  • Latency
  • Disk usage
  • Garbage collection
  • Errors and overruns

Easily view key Cassandra performance metrics

Cassandra monitoring metrics are only useful if you can make sense of them. SolarWinds SAM can help you view and more easily understand key Cassandra metrics. Using SAM, you can set the parameters you need to monitor a Cassandra server (even if installed on a Linux or Unix system), check system health by viewing network statistics and node status on commands and responses to help you ensure monitored components are functioning as expected, and monitor crucial Cassandra server metrics like latency, disk usage, thread pool tasks, and key and row cache values.

Set intelligent alerts to stay on top of critical issues

SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor offers robust, customizable monitoring and alerting of Cassandra databases. Never miss an action item that could affect end users or degrade system health. Head off Cassandra performance problems with alerts on relevant metrics, including ongoing hint activity or increased latency, before issues compound. If you want to reduce alert fatigue, SAM makes it easier to focus on the metrics that matter to you and set critical alerts for only high-level cluster failures.

Unify your Cassandra monitoring dashboards

DBAs have a lot on their plates without needing to navigate different dashboards for different servers. That’s why SolarWinds SAM makes it easy to track performance across virtual and physical servers, by using the agentless, scalable architecture available in SAM’s Cassandra monitoring tools. With SAM, you can use a single tool to monitor Cassandra performance alongside other vendor solutions for a centralized view to help bring more admin tasks under one roof.
