Installing Metering Using the MapR Installer

Metering is part of the mapr-apiserver package and is installed by default when you use the MapR Installer to install MapR 6.1 or later. Metering requires a minimal level of metrics collection to be enabled. On the Monitoring page of the MapR Installer web interface, you can choose between two configuration options for metrics collection:

• A "full collection configuration" installs collectd on all nodes in the cluster with a configuration suitable for monitoring all available node metrics. This configuration is the default setting.
• A "minimum collection configuration" installs collectd on all nodes in the cluster with a configuration suitable for supporting metering metrics collection (but not MapR Database table metrics). Note that when you choose this option, table metrics are not visible in the MapR Control System.
