Support for exposing PSI metrics #3083

dqminh · 2022-03-23T11:28:42Z

This depends on opencontainers/runc#3358, so it should not be merged as-is, but we can review the structure and how metrics are exposed.

k8s-ci-robot · 2022-03-23T11:28:51Z

Hi @dqminh. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a google member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

This adds 2 new set of metrics: - `psi_total`: read total number of seconds a resource is under pressure - `psi_avg`: read ratio of time a resource is under pressure over a sliding time window. For more details about these definitions, see: - https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html - https://facebookmicrosites.github.io/psi/docs/overview Signed-off-by: Daniel Dao <[email protected]>

This adds support for reading PSI metrics via prometheus. We exposes the following for `psi_total`: ``` container_cpu_psi_total_seconds container_memory_psi_total_seconds container_io_psi_total_seconds ``` And for `psi_avg`: ``` container_cpu_psi_avg10_ratio container_cpu_psi_avg60_ratio container_cpu_psi_avg300_ratio container_memory_psi_avg10_ratio container_memory_psi_avg60_ratio container_memory_psi_avg300_ratio container_io_psi_avg10_ratio container_io_psi_avg60_ratio container_io_psi_avg300_ratio ``` Signed-off-by: Daniel Dao <[email protected]>

@bobbypage does this need to wait longer, anything missing?
I ask because there is an internal request to support this feature. :)

@dqminh likely it needs a rebase, maybe you can do it :)

bobbypage · 2022-11-04T19:41:15Z

We are still waiting for opencontainers/runc#3358 to merged in runc...

szuecs · 2022-11-14T18:52:24Z

@bobbypage not sure should I take over the PR?
@dqminh thoughts?

Fyi, it's unnecessary and not in best practices to expose the pre-computed averages in Prometheus.

Prometheus can compute arbitrary averages from the Total data.

nmlc · 2023-08-23T05:51:31Z

Any news here? Seems like runc PSI pr got merged

These metrics are unnecessary in Prometheus as we can compute averages from the counters. Please remove them to avoid excess metric cardinality.

Suggested change

if includedMetrics.Has(container.PSIAvgMetrics) {

makePSIAvgMetric := func(controller, window string) containerMetric {

return containerMetric{

name: fmt.Sprintf("container_%s_psi_avg%s_ratio", controller, window),

help: fmt.Sprintf("Ratio of time spent under %s pressure over time window of %s seconds", controller, window),

valueType: prometheus.GaugeValue,

extraLabels: []string{"kind"},

getValues: func(s *info.ContainerStats) metricValues {

switch controller {

case "cpu":

return getPSIValues(s, &s.Cpu.PSI, "avg"+window)

case "memory":

return getPSIValues(s, &s.Memory.PSI, "avg"+window)

case "io":

return getPSIValues(s, &s.DiskIo.PSI, "avg"+window)

default:

return nil

}

},

}

}

for _, controller := range []string{"cpu", "memory", "io"} {

for _, window := range []string{"10", "60", "300"} {

c.containerMetrics = append(c.containerMetrics, makePSIAvgMetric(controller, window))

}

}

}

I believe this may be resolved since the 10/60/300 averages are inherent to the exposed PSI data?

SuperQ · 2023-08-23T06:40:40Z

metrics/prometheus.go

+	case "total":
+		// total is measured as microseconds
+		v = append(v, metricValue{value: float64(time.Duration(psi.Some.Total)*time.Microsecond) / float64(time.Second), timestamp: s.Timestamp, labels: []string{"some"}})
+		v = append(v, metricValue{value: float64(time.Duration(psi.Full.Total)*time.Microsecond) / float64(time.Second), timestamp: s.Timestamp, labels: []string{"full"}})


Note for CPU, we don't need to expose "full". In practice, I've only found the "some" metrics to be useful. The "some" value is a superset of "full". IMO we should just include that to reduce the cardinality.

See the PSI docs:

CPU full is undefined at the system level, but has been reported since 5.13, so it is set to zero for backward compatibility.

I would like to raise my opinion for exposing "CPU full" metrics on a container(/cgroup) level.

While "CPU full" is undefined at the system level, it reports values for other cgroups:

$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/cpu.pressure some avg10=0.00 avg60=0.05 avg300=0.20 total=68139509 full avg10=0.00 avg60=0.00 avg300=0.00 total=40148380

Exposing both might be useful to differentiate between cgroups that try to execute more work than compute time available to them (indicated through "CPU some") and cgroups that are fully blocked/stalled (maybe because of other cgroups and/or process priority, …; indicated through "CPU full").

Interesting, thanks for this info. Are there kernel docs that document the per-cgroup behavior?

IMO this should be a separate metric name, rather than a label. The reason is that since some is a inclusive of full, doing something like sum(rate(container_pressure_cpu_seconds_total[1m])) would be confusing.

I would suggest these two metric names:

container_pressure_cpu_seconds_total

container_pressure_cpu_full_seconds_total

szuecs · 2023-10-31T09:14:58Z

@bobbypage can you set ok to test and do a review?
Would be great to see this in cadvisor

@szuecs take over ?

SuperQ · 2024-04-17T05:54:31Z

I would be happy to take over this change, I would like to make sure it aligns well with best practices. As it is, it does not.

szuecs · 2024-04-17T11:47:10Z

There is only a release candidate so I would wait until there's a proper release.
I don't mind that someone else would do it.

@szuecs Any update on this ? I'm asking this is a internally heavily requested feature. :)

https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/releases/tag/v1.2.0 runc v1.2.0 is released today.

Do you have time to bump runc?

dims · 2024-10-22T12:08:45Z

@pacoxu when containerd 2.0 gets out runc used with it will be 1.2.0, so till we have only 1.6/1.7 containerd with k8s, we should stick to older runc(s) both as binary as well as vendoring

haircommander · 2024-10-22T13:36:45Z

@dims why do cadvisor/k8s and containerd need to have an in sync runc version?

dims · 2024-10-22T13:59:07Z

@dims why do cadvisor/k8s and containerd need to have an in sync runc version?

bad things have happened before @haircommander example see opencontainers/runc#3849

alexandremahdhaoui · 2024-10-24T07:04:36Z

@dims @haircommander to address and prevent the issue with "out of sync" runc versions we could add a CI check.

NB: I wrote a tool (usage) in kubernetes-sigs/container-runtime to verify and ensure specified go modules stays in sync with some upstream modules. I'd be glad to open a PR here or in k/k to add a check.

rexagod · 2024-11-12T11:41:01Z

Since the backports are in now, I think we can go ahead with this (and incorporating @SuperQ's suggestions above)?

SuperQ · 2024-11-12T11:43:47Z

I might go ahead and make a fork/alternative to this specific PR.
