Riak Stats Example

Description

For this example we're going to use check_http_json.py as a pure CLI tool to read Riak's /stats endpoint

Connection information

• Host = 127.0.0.1:8098
• Path = /stats

JSON Stats Data

• Full Riak HTTP Stats information can be found here: http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/dev/references/http/status/
• Information related to specific interesting stats can be found here: http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/stats-and-monitoring/

Connectivity Check

• ring_members: We can use an existence check to monitor the number of ring members
• connected_nodes: Similarly we can check the number of nodes that are in communication with this node, but this list will be empty in a 1 node cluster

Sample Command

For a single node dev "cluster", you might have a ring_members value like this:

"ring_members": [
    "riak@127.0.0.1"
],

To validate that we have a single node, we can use this check:

$ ./check_http_json.py -H localhost -P 8098 -p stats -E "ring_members(0)"
OK: Status OK.

If we were expecting at least 2 nodes in the cluster, we would use this check:

$ ./check_http_json.py -H localhost -P 8098 -p stats -E "ring_members(1)"
CRITICAL: Status CRITICAL. Key ring_members(1) did not exist.

Obviously this fails because we only had a single ring_member. If we prefer to only get a warning instead of a critical for this check, we just use the correct flag:

$ ./check_http_json.py -H localhost -P 8098 -p stats -e "ring_members(1)"
WARNING: Status WARNING. Key ring_members(1) did not exist.

Gather Metrics

The thresholds for acceptable values for these metrics will vary from system to system, following are the stats we'll be checking:

Throughput Metrics:

• node_gets
• node_puts
• vnode_counter_update
• vnode_set_update
• vnode_map_update
• search_query_throughput_one
• search_index_throughtput_one
• consistent_gets
• consistent_puts
• vnode_index_reads

Sample Command

./check_http_json.py -H localhost -P 8098 -p stats -m \
    "node_gets" \
    "node_puts" \
    "vnode_counter_update" \
    "vnode_set_update" \
    "vnode_map_update" \
    "search_query_throughput_one" \
    "search_index_throughtput_one" \
    "consistent_gets" \
    "consistent_puts" \
    "vnode_index_reads"

Sample Output

OK: Status OK.|'node_gets'=0 'node_puts'=0 'vnode_counter_update'=0 'vnode_set_update'=0 'vnode_map_update'=0 'search_query_throughput_one'=0 'consistent_gets'=0 'consistent_puts'=0 'vnode_index_reads'=0

Latency Metrics:

• node_get_fsm_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
• node_put_fsm_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
• object_counter_merge_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
• object_set_merge_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
• object_map_merge_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
• search_query_latency_median,_min,_95,_99,_999
• search_index_latency_median,_min,_95,_99,_999
• consistent_get_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
• consistent_put_time_mean,_median,_95,_99,_100
