Components configuration

Akamas uses components to identify specific elements of the system to be monitored and optimized. Your system might contain multiple components to model, for example, a Spark application and each host of the cluster. To point Akamas to the right component when extracting metrics you need to add a property called sparkApplication to your Spark Application component. The provider will only extract metrics for components for which this property has been specified.

name: My Application
properties:
  sparkApplication: "true"
