rkt-monitor

rkt-monitor

This is a small go utility intended to monitor the CPU and memory usage of rkt and its children processes. This is accomplished by exec'ing rkt, reading proc once a second for a specified duration, and printing the results.

This utility has a handful of flags:

Usage:
  rkt-monitor IMAGE [flags]

Examples:
rkt-monitor mem-stresser.aci -v -d 30s

Flags:
  -f, --to-file[=false]: Save benchmark results to files in a temp dir
  -d, --duration="10s": How long to run the ACI
  -h, --help[=false]: help for rkt-monitor
  -r, --repetitions=1: Numbers of benchmark repetitions
  -o, --show-output[=false]: Display rkt's stdout and stderr
  -v, --verbose[=false]: Print current usage every second

Some acbuild scripts and golang source code is provided to build ACIs that attempt to eat up resources in different ways.

An example usage:

derek@rokot ~/go/src/github.com/coreos/rkt> ./tests/rkt-monitor/build-stresser.sh log
Building worker...
Beginning build with an empty ACI
Setting name of ACI to appc.io/rkt-log-stresser
Copying host:worker-binary to aci:/worker
Setting exec command [/worker]
Writing ACI to log-stresser.aci
Ending the build
derek@rokot ~/go/src/github.com/coreos/rkt> sudo ./build-rkt-1.8.0+git/bin/rkt-monitor log-stresser.aci
