Transcript

1. Prometheus: monitoring and alerting with an open source solution Cheng-Lung Sung (clsung@)
2. Outline (preface) • What is Prometheus? • What is metrics monitoring • Time series DB • Component introduction • Why choose Prometheus against alternatives. • How we adopt Prometheus (code examples in Go) • What metrics to measure? • Why 50%, 90%, 99%? • Not only Prometheus • Other open source solutions for DevOps to save the day.
3. Outline (actually) • The history of HTC Cloud Service Infrastructure • As a DevOps, what you will need • Why/How we adopt Prometheus (code examples in Go) • Metrics can talk, why 50%, 95%, 99%?

 HTC Studio CSI kickoff in Golang Introduce Docker Cloud Service Infrastructure
 Timeline First App
 Official Launch Dockerized Everything embrace GCP 2015 2013 Oct • Docker 1.0 Release • Integrate Jenkins with Docker
15. –Gene Kim, The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win “It’s not the upfront capital that kills you, it’s the operations and maintenance on the back end”
16. Handcrafted deployment script • build / test docker images • update GCE services • health-check • autoscaler • instance-template / instance- group • push configuration
17. Docker with EFK Also deployed with autoscaler on custom metrics
19. DevOps! What will you need?
20. –有⽤用的 DevOps 「DevOps 三寶：Logging、Tracing、 Monitoring」
21. Tracing Appdash, Jaeger, LightStep, Zipkin… (Golang)
22. System level metrics Prometheus + Grafana
23. Application metrics Prometheus + Grafana
24. Time Series Metrics • Time Series is • a series of numeric data points of some particular metric over time. • each consists of a metric plus one or more tags associated with this metric • Metric is • any particular piece of data to track over time • e.g. hits to an Apache hosted file http://opentsdb.net/docs/build/html/user_guide/query/timeseries.html HTC CSI Repo

27. How to measure? https://honeycomb.io/blog/2017/01/instrumentation-the-first-four-things-you-measure/
28. // Count is a go-restful filter that counts REST call statistics. // It counts the following: request count, request round-trip time, response success count // and rate, and response length. func (lf *CounterFilter) Count(req *restful.Request, resp *restful.Response, c *restful.FilterChain) { start := time.Now() target := lf.getTarget(req) // Record request duration defer ctr.Time(makeReqTime(strOverall), start, Alert|Avg) defer ctr.Time(makeReqTime(target), start) // Count request sizes ctr.Val(makeReqSize(strOverall), req.Request.ContentLength, Avg|Rate) ctr.Val(makeReqSize(target), req.Request.ContentLength, Avg|Rate) // Count request QPS ctr.Event(makeReqEvent(strOverall), 1, Alert|Rate) ctr.Event(makeReqEvent(target), 1) c.ProcessFilter(req, resp) // Count response codes statusCode := resp.StatusCode() ctr.Event(makeRespCode(strOverall, statusCode), 1) ctr.Event(makeRespCode(target, statusCode), 1)
29. Why Prometheus?

34. Prometheus Metric Types Counter Gauge Histogram Summary
35. // Counter is a wrapper of metrics.* type Counter struct { ctr metrics.Counter err metrics.Counter dur metrics.Histogram dus metrics.Histogram gau metrics.Gauge } // NewCounter return a new Counter func NewCounter(namespace, subsystem string) *Counter { … return &Counter{ ctr: kitprometheus.NewCounter(ctr), err: kitprometheus.NewCounter(errCtr), dur: kitprometheus.NewHistogram(dur), dus: kitprometheus.NewSummary(dus), gau: kitprometheus.NewGauge(gau), } } // Duration records the duration in seconds func (c *Counter) Duration(function string, value float64) { c.dur.With("func", function).Observe(value) c.dus.With("func", function).Observe(value) } // Event records the function call event func (c *Counter) Event(function string, value int) { c.ctr.With("func", function).Add(float64(value)) } // Err records the function call error func (c *Counter) Err(function string, value int) { c.err.With("func", function).Add(float64(value))
36. // Record request duration defer ctr.Duration(makeReqTime(target), time.Now()) // Expand the span for tracing span := utils.StartSpanFromContextWithSpan(ctx, target, opentracing.SpanFromContext(ctx)) defer span.Finish() // Count request sizes ctr.Event(makeReqSize(target), req.Request.ContentLength) // Count request QPS ctr.Event(makeReqEvent(target), 1) c.ProcessFilter(req, resp) // Count response codes statusCode := resp.StatusCode() ctr.Event(makeRespCode(target, statusCode), 1) // StatusBadRequest is 400 if statusCode >= http.StatusBadRequest { ctr.Err(makeRespErrorEvent(target), 1) log.Errorf("[http status] %s: %d (ms: %d)", target, statusCode, elapsedInMs)
