TiDB Lightning Monitoring |
Learn about the monitor configuration and monitoring metrics of TiDB Lightning. |
|
tidb-lightning
supports metrics collection via Prometheus. This document introduces the monitor configuration and monitoring metrics of TiDB Lightning.
If TiDB Lightning is manually installed, follow the instructions below.
The metrics of tidb-lightning
can be gathered directly by Prometheus as long as it is discovered. You can set the metrics port in tidb-lightning.toml
:
[lightning]
# HTTP port for debugging and Prometheus metrics pulling (0 to disable)
pprof-port = 8289
...
and in tikv-importer.toml
:
# Listening address of the status server.
status-server-address = '0.0.0.0:8286'
You need to configure Prometheus to make it discover the servers. For instance, you can directly add the server address to the scrape_configs
section:
...
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'tidb-lightning'
static_configs:
- targets: ['192.168.20.10:8289']
- job_name: 'tikv-importer'
static_configs:
- targets: ['192.168.20.9:8286']
Grafana is a web interface to visualize Prometheus metrics as dashboards.
Panel | Series | Description |
---|---|---|
Import speed | write from TiDB Lightning | Speed of sending KVs from TiDB Lightning to TiKV Importer, which depends on each table's complexity |
Import speed | upload to tikv | Total upload speed from TiKV Importer to all TiKV replicas |
Chunk process duration | Average time needed to completely encode one single data file |
Sometimes the import speed will drop to zero allowing other parts to catch up. This is normal.
Panel | Description |
---|---|
Import progress | Percentage of data files encoded so far |
Checksum progress | Percentage of tables are verified to be imported successfully |
Failures | Number of failed tables and their point of failure, normally empty |
Panel | Description |
---|---|
Memory usage | Amount of memory occupied by each service |
Number of TiDB Lightning Goroutines | Number of running goroutines used by TiDB Lightning |
CPU% | Number of logical CPU cores utilized by each service |
Panel | Series | Description |
---|---|---|
Idle workers | io | Number of unused io-concurrency , normally close to configured value (default 5), and close to 0 means the disk is too slow |
Idle workers | closed-engine | Number of engines which is closed but not yet cleaned up, normally close to index + table-concurrency (default 8), and close to 0 means TiDB Lightning is faster than TiKV Importer, which will cause TiDB Lightning to stall |
Idle workers | table | Number of unused table-concurrency , normally 0 until the end of process |
Idle workers | index | Number of unused index-concurrency , normally 0 until the end of process |
Idle workers | region | Number of unused region-concurrency , normally 0 until the end of process |
External resources | KV Encoder | Counts active KV encoders, normally the same as region-concurrency until the end of process |
External resources | Importer Engines | Counts opened engine files, should never exceed the max-open-engines setting |
Panel | Series | Description |
---|---|---|
Chunk parser read block duration | read block | Time taken to read one block of bytes to prepare for parsing |
Chunk parser read block duration | apply worker | Time elapsed to wait for an idle io-concurrency |
SQL process duration | row encode | Time taken to parse and encode a single row |
SQL process duration | block deliver | Time taken to send a block of KV pairs to TiKV Importer |
If any of the duration is too high, it indicates that the disk used by TiDB Lightning is too slow or busy with I/O.
Panel | Series | Description |
---|---|---|
SQL process rate | data deliver rate | Speed of delivery of data KV pairs to TiKV Importer |
SQL process rate | index deliver rate | Speed of delivery of index KV pairs to TiKV Importer |
SQL process rate | total deliver rate | The sum of two rates above |
Total bytes | parser read size | Number of bytes being read by TiDB Lightning |
Total bytes | data deliver size | Number of bytes of data KV pairs already delivered to TiKV Importer |
Total bytes | index deliver size | Number of bytes of index KV pairs already delivered to TiKV Importer |
Total bytes | storage_size / 3 | Total size occupied by the TiKV cluster, divided by 3 (the default number of replicas) |
Panel | Series | Description |
---|---|---|
Delivery duration | Range delivery | Time taken to upload a range of KV pairs to the TiKV cluster |
Delivery duration | SST delivery | Time taken to upload an SST file to the TiKV cluster |
SST process duration | Split SST | Time taken to split the stream of KV pairs into SST files |
SST process duration | SST upload | Time taken to upload an SST file |
