Data Movement Visualization Yunang Chen, Wolong Yuan
Outline Background Overview Tracking API Visualization Test & Demo
Background Ceph does not expose the backend communication between OSDs Every metrics shown in the dashboard are client-related One PerfCounter currently provided by OSD daemon: replicated written data size Only collected during debugging mode Does not track the sender of replicated data Hard to understand / diagnose OSD behaviors
Tracking Gather OSD configurations (host IPs, ports) through Ceph s JSON dumps. Expensive command, ~0.5 sec Performed on different nodes at different timestamps to ensure up-to-dated information Use tcpdump to monitor the network traffic in Ceph s (internal) cluster network. Calculate and report the total size of package payloads received within a small interval.
Alternative Approach for Tracking Add as a metric of Ceph s built-in PerfCounter module. Implementation overview: 1. Pass package sender to OpRequest at ReplicatedBackend (Placement Group) class 2. Write info to logger when an OpRequest is committed. 3. Store tracking info as a histogram, OSD id as horizontal axis and total bytes as Vertical axis + Slightly more accurate (ignore headers) +/- Do not keep track of other packages (Ack, delete, etc. -> only a small portion of traffic) - No appropriate data structure: the hacky histogram approach does not scale (constant bincount) Expensive to query, not responsive
API Post the current state of osd cluster { "type": 0, "osds": [0, 1, 2], "activeOsds": [0, 1] }
API Post one data flow to the server { "type": 1, "start": 1, "end": 0, "size": 10 }
{ API "type": 2, "usage": [{ "id": 0, "used": 2.01, "unused": 12.34 }, { "id": 1, "used": 1.12, "unused": 9.20 }, { "id": 2, "used": 1.25, "unused": 8.03 }] Post disk usage of each osd node }
Visualization Implemented with D3.js Data is provided by server through websocket Use flowing rectangle box to represent the data flow The color of box illustrates the data rate 16 MB/s: 8 MB/s: 0 MB/s:
Test & Demo General benchmark Add a new OSD node Change primary affinity Change replication OSD out & in
General benchmark bench.mov
Change primary affinity pa.mov The primary affinity of the 3 OSDs on the right hand side is set to 0.
Add a new OSD node new.mov
OSD out & in up.mov
