Welcome to Chukwa!

Chukwa is an open source data collection system for monitoring large distributed systems. Chukwa is built on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Map/Reduce framework and inherits Hadoop’s scalability and robustness. Chukwa also includes a flexible and powerful toolkit for displaying, monitoring and analyzing results to make the best use of the collected data.

Chukwa 0.3 released. This is the first public release of Chukwa. Release notes are available here. Note that we've been updating the documentation, in response to early user feedback. You should consult the Apache copy of the documentation, rather than the copy included with the release.

Releases are available on the release page. For documentation, check here and on the Wiki.
