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:26257/_status/metrics/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.

Variables

var (
	// 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}

	// Scale1H is a 1 hour window for windowed stats (e.g. Rates and Histograms).
	Scale1H = TimeScale{"1h", time.Hour}
)
View Source
var DefaultTimeScales = []TimeScale{Scale1M, Scale10M, Scale1H}

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

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

Current returns a copy of the data currently in the window.

func (*Histogram) Each

func (h *Histogram) Each(f func(string, interface{}))

Each calls the closure with the empty string and the receiver.

func (*Histogram) MarshalJSON

type Registry

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

A Registry bundles up various iterables (i.e. typically metrics or other registries) to provide a single point of access to them.

A Registry can be added to another Registry through the Add/MustAdd methods. This allows a hierarchy of Registry instances to be created.

func NewRegistry

func NewRegistry() *Registry

NewRegistry creates a new Registry.

func (*Registry) Add

func (r *Registry) Add(format string, item Iterable) error

Add links the given Iterable into this registry using the given format string. The individual items in the registry will be formatted via fmt.Sprintf(format, <name>). As a special case, *Registry implements Iterable and can thus be added. Metric types in this package have helpers that allow them to be created and registered in a single step. Add is called manually only when adding a registry to another, or when integrating metrics defined elsewhere.

func (*Registry) Counter

func (r *Registry) Counter(name string) *Counter

Counter registers new counter to the registry.

func (*Registry) Each

func (r *Registry) Each(f func(name string, val interface{}))

func (*Registry) GetCounter

func (r *Registry) GetCounter(name string) *Counter

GetCounter returns the Counter in this registry with the given name. If a Counter with this name is not present (including if a non-Counter Iterable is registered with the name), nil is returned.

func (*Registry) GetGauge

func (r *Registry) GetGauge(name string) *Gauge

GetGauge returns the Gauge in this registry with the given name. If a Gauge with this name is not present (including if a non-Gauge Iterable is registered with the name), nil is returned.

func (*Registry) GetRate

func (r *Registry) GetRate(name string) *Rate

GetRate returns the Rate in this registry with the given name. If a Rate with this name is not present (including if a non-Rate Iterable is registered with the name), nil is returned.

func (*Registry) Histogram

func (r *Registry) Histogram(name string, duration time.Duration, maxVal int64,
	sigFigs int) *Histogram

Histogram registers a new windowed HDRHistogram with the given parameters. Data is kept in the active window for approximately the given duration.

func (*Registry) Latency

func (r *Registry) Latency(prefix string) Histograms

Latency is a convenience function which registers histograms with suitable defaults for latency tracking. Values are expressed in ns, are truncated into the interval [0, time.Minute] and are recorded with two digits of precision (i.e. errors of <1ms at 100ms, <.6s at 1m). The generated names of the metric will begin with the given prefix.

TODO(mrtracy,tschottdorf): need to discuss roll-ups and generally how (and which) information flows between metrics and time series.

func (*Registry) MarshalJSON

func (r *Registry) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON marshals to JSON.

func (*Registry) MustAdd

func (r *Registry) MustAdd(format string, item Iterable)

	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A TimeScale is a named duration.

func (TimeScale) Name

func (ts TimeScale) Name() string
