Overview

Package metric provides server metrics (a.k.a. transient stats) for a CockroachDB server. These metrics are persisted to the time-series database and are viewable through the web interface and the /_status/metrics/<NODEID> HTTP endpoint.

Adding a new metric

First, add the metric to a Registry.

Next, call methods such as Counter() and Rate() on the Registry to register the metric. For example:

exec := &Executor{
	...
	selectCount: sqlRegistry.Counter("sql.select.count"),
	...
}

This code block registers the metric "sql.select.count" in sql.Registry. The metric can then be accessed through the "selectCount" variable, which can be updated as follows:

func (e *Executor) doSelect() {
	// do the SELECT
	e.selectCount.Inc(1)
}

To add the metric to the web UI, modify the appropriate file in "ui/ts/pages/*.ts". Someone more qualified than me can elaborate, like @maxlang.

Sub-registries

It's common for a Registry to become part of another Registry through the "Add" and "MustAdd" methods.

func NewNodeStatusMonitor(serverRegistry *registry) {
	nodeRegistry := metric.NewRegistry()

	// Add the registry for this node to the root-level server Registry. When
	// accessed from through the serverRegistry, all metrics from the
	// nodeRegistry will have the prefix "cr.node.".
	serverRegistry.MustAdd("cr.node.%s", nodeRegistry)
}

Node-level sub-registries are added by calling:

(*metric.MetricRecorder).AddNodeRegistry(YOUR_NODE_SUBREGISTRY)

Testing

After your test does something to trigger your new metric update, you'll probably want to call methods in TestServer such as MustGetSQLCounter() to verify that the metric was updated correctly. See "sql/metric_test.go" for an example.

Additionally, you can manually verify that your metric is updating by using the metrics endpoint. For example, if you're running the Cockroach DB server with the "--insecure" flag, you can use access the endpoint as follows:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/_status/nodes/1

(some other output)
"cr.node.sql.select.count.1": 5,
(some other output)

Note that a prefix and suffix have been added. The prefix "cr.node." denotes that this metric is node-level. The suffix ".1" specifies that this metric is for node 1.

const (
	// MaxLatency is the maximum value tracked in latency histograms. Higher
	// values will be recorded as this value instead.
	MaxLatency = 10 * time.Second

	// TestSampleInterval is passed to histograms during tests which don't
	// want to concern themselves with supplying a "correct" interval.
	TestSampleInterval = time.Duration(math.MaxInt64)
)

Variables

	// Scale1M is a 1 minute window for windowed stats (e.g. Rates and Histograms).
	Scale1M = TimeScale{"1m", 1 * time.Minute}

	// Scale10M is a 10 minute window for windowed stats (e.g. Rates and Histograms).
	Scale10M = TimeScale{"10m", 10 * time.Minute}

var DefaultTimeScales = []TimeScale{Scale1M, Scale10M, Scale1H}

DefaultTimeScales are the durations used for helpers which create windowed metrics in bulk (such as Rates).

Functions

func TestingSetNow

func TestingSetNow(f func() time.Time) func()

type Histogram

type Histogram struct {
	Metadata
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Histogram collects observed values by keeping bucketed counts. For convenience, internally two sets of buckets are kept: A cumulative set (i.e. data is never evicted) and a windowed set (which keeps only recently collected samples).

Top-level methods generally apply to the cumulative buckets; the windowed variant is exposed through the Windowed method.

func NewHistogram

func NewHistogram(metadata Metadata, duration time.Duration, maxVal int64, sigFigs int) *Histogram

NewHistogram initializes a given Histogram. The contained windowed histogram rotates every 'duration'; both the windowed and the cumulative histogram track nonnegative values up to 'maxVal' with 'sigFigs' decimal points of precision.

func NewLatency

func NewLatency(metadata Metadata, sampleDuration time.Duration) *Histogram

NewLatency is a convenience function which returns a histogram with suitable defaults for latency tracking. Values are expressed in ns, are truncated into the interval [0, MaxLatency] and are recorded with one digit of precision (i.e. errors of <10ms at 100ms, <6s at 60s).

The windowed portion of the Histogram retains values for approximately sampleDuration.

func (*Histogram) GetType

func (h *Histogram) GetType() *prometheusgo.MetricType

GetType returns the prometheus type enum for this metric.

func (*Histogram) Inspect

func (h *Histogram) Inspect(f func(interface{}))

func (*Histogram) Min

func (h *Histogram) Min() int64

Min returns the minimum.

func (*Histogram) RecordValue

func (*Histogram) Snapshot

func (h *Histogram) Snapshot() *hdrhistogram.Histogram

Snapshot returns a copy of the cumulative (i.e. all-time samples) histogram data.

func (*Histogram) ToPrometheusMetric

func (h *Histogram) ToPrometheusMetric() *prometheusgo.Metric

ToPrometheusMetric returns a filled-in prometheus metric of the right type.

func (*Histogram) TotalCount

func (h *Histogram) TotalCount() int64

TotalCount returns the (cumulative) number of samples.

func (h *Histogram) Windowed() (*hdrhistogram.Histogram, time.Duration)

Windowed returns a copy of the current windowed histogram data and its rotation interval.

type Iterable

type Iterable interface {
	// GetName returns the fully-qualified name of the metric.
	GetName() string
	// GetHelp returns the help text for the metric.
	GetHelp() string
	// Inspect calls the given closure with each contained item.
	Inspect(func(interface{}))
}

Iterable provides a method for synchronized access to interior objects.

type Metadata

type Metadata struct {
	Name, Help string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Metadata holds metadata about a metric. It must be embedded in each metric object.

func (*Metadata) AddLabel

func (m *Metadata) AddLabel(name, value string)

AddLabel adds a label/value pair for this metric.

func (*Metadata) GetName

func (m *Metadata) GetName() string

GetName returns the metric's name.

type PrometheusExportable

type PrometheusExportable interface {
	// GetName is a method on Metadata
	GetName() string
	// GetHelp is a method on Metadata
	GetHelp() string
	// GetType returns the prometheus type enum for this metric.
	GetType() *prometheusgo.MetricType
	// GetLabels is a method on Metadata
	GetLabels() []*prometheusgo.LabelPair
	// ToPrometheusMetric returns a filled-in prometheus metric of the right type
	// for the given metric. It does not fill in labels.
	// The implementation must return thread-safe data to the caller, i.e.
	// usually a copy of internal state.
	ToPrometheusMetric() *prometheusgo.Metric
}

PrometheusExportable is the standard interface for an individual metric that can be exported to prometheus.

type PrometheusExporter

type PrometheusExporter struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PrometheusExporter contains a map of metric families (a metric with multiple labels). It initializes each metric family once and reuses it for each prometheus scrape. It is NOT thread-safe. TODO(marc): we should really keep out metric objects here so we can avoid creating new prometheus.Metric every time we are scraped. see: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/9326

pe := MakePrometheusExporter()
pe.AddMetricsFromRegistry(nodeRegistry)
pe.AddMetricsFromRegistry(storeOneRegistry)
...
pe.AddMetricsFromRegistry(storeNRegistry)

func MakePrometheusExporter() PrometheusExporter

MakePrometheusExporter returns an initialized prometheus exporter.

func (*PrometheusExporter) PrintAsText

func (pm *PrometheusExporter) PrintAsText(w io.Writer) error

func (*PrometheusExporter) ScrapeRegistry

func (pm *PrometheusExporter) ScrapeRegistry(registry *Registry)

ScrapeRegistry scrapes all metrics contained in the registry to the metric family map, holding on only to the scraped data (which is no longer connected to the registry and metrics within) when returning from the the call. It creates new families as needed.

type Rate

type Rate struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Rate is a exponential weighted moving average.

func NewRate

func NewRate(timescale time.Duration) *Rate

NewRate creates an EWMA rate on the given timescale. Timescales at or below 2s are illegal and will cause a panic.

func (*Rate) Add

func (e *Rate) Add(v float64)

Add adds the given measurement to the Rate.

func (*Rate) Value

func (e *Rate) Value() float64

Value returns the current value of the Rate.

type Registry

type Registry struct {
	syncutil.Mutex
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A registry can have label pairs that will be applied to all its metrics when exported to prometheus.

func NewRegistry

func NewRegistry() *Registry

NewRegistry creates a new Registry.

func (*Registry) AddLabel

func (r *Registry) AddLabel(name, value string)
