Alerting

You can set up alerts on metrics to get a notification when something went wrong. We will use Prometheus alert rules as an example here. You can get full alerts.yml file at tarantool/grafana-dashboard GitHub repo.

You can use internal Tarantool metrics to monitor detailed RAM consumption, replication state, database engine status, track business logic issues (like HTTP 4xx and 5xx responses or low request rate) and external modules statistics (like CRUD errors or Cartridge issues). Evaluation timeouts, severity levels and thresholds (especially ones for business logic) are placed here for the sake of example: you may want to increase or decrease them for your application. Also, don’t forget to set sane rate time ranges based on your Prometheus configuration.

The Lua memory is limited to 2 GB per instance. Monitoring tnt_info_memory_lua metric may prevent memory overflow and detect the presence of bad Lua code practices.

- alert: HighLuaMemoryWarning
  expr: tnt_info_memory_lua >= (512 * 1024 * 1024)
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') Lua runtime warning"
    description: "'{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' uses too much Lua memory
      and may hit threshold soon."

- alert: HighLuaMemoryAlert
  expr: tnt_info_memory_lua >= (1024 * 1024 * 1024)
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') Lua runtime alert"
    description: "'{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' uses too much Lua memory
      and likely to hit threshold soon."

By monitoring slab allocation statistics you can see how many free RAM is remaining to store memtx tuples and indexes for an instance. If Tarantool hit the limits, the instance will become unavailable for write operations, so this alert may help you see when it’s time to increase your memtx_memory limit or to add a new storage to a vshard cluster.

- alert: LowMemtxArenaRemainingWarning
  expr: (tnt_slab_quota_used_ratio >= 80) and (tnt_slab_arena_used_ratio >= 80)
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') low arena memory remaining"
    description: "Low arena memory (tuples and indexes) remaining for '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}'.
      Consider increasing memtx_memory or number of storages in case of sharded data."

- alert: LowMemtxArenaRemaining
  expr: (tnt_slab_quota_used_ratio >= 90) and (tnt_slab_arena_used_ratio >= 90)
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') low arena memory remaining"
    description: "Low arena memory (tuples and indexes) remaining for '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}'.
      You are likely to hit limit soon.
      It is strongly recommended to increase memtx_memory or number of storages in case of sharded data."

- alert: LowMemtxItemsRemainingWarning
  expr: (tnt_slab_quota_used_ratio >= 80) and (tnt_slab_items_used_ratio >= 80)
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') low items memory remaining"
    description: "Low items memory (tuples) remaining for '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}'.
      Consider increasing memtx_memory or number of storages in case of sharded data."

- alert: LowMemtxItemsRemaining
  expr: (tnt_slab_quota_used_ratio >= 90) and (tnt_slab_items_used_ratio >= 90)
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') low items memory remaining"
    description: "Low items memory (tuples) remaining for '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}'.
      You are likely to hit limit soon.
      It is strongly recommended to increase memtx_memory or number of storages in case of sharded data."

You can monitor vinyl regulator performance to track possible scheduler or disk issues.

- alert: LowVinylRegulatorRateLimit
  expr: tnt_vinyl_regulator_rate_limit < 100000
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') have low vinyl regulator rate limit"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' have low vinyl engine regulator rate limit.
      This indicates issues with the disk or the scheduler."

Vinyl transactions errors are likely to lead to user requests errors.

- alert: HighVinylTxConflictRate
  expr: rate(tnt_vinyl_tx_conflict[5m]) / rate(tnt_vinyl_tx_commit[5m]) > 0.05
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: critical
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') have high vinyl tx conflict rate"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' have
      high vinyl transactions conflict rate. It indicates that vinyl is not healthy."

Vinyl scheduler failed tasks are a good signal of disk issues and may be the reason of increasing RAM consumption.

- alert: HighVinylSchedulerFailedTasksRate
  expr: rate(tnt_vinyl_scheduler_tasks{status="failed"}[5m]) > 0.1
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: critical
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') have high vinyl scheduler failed tasks rate"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' have
      high vinyl scheduler failed tasks rate."

If tnt_replication_status is equal to 0, instance replication status is not equal to "follows": replication is either not ready yet or has been stopped due to some reason.

- alert: ReplicationNotRunning
  expr: tnt_replication_status == 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: critical
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') {{ $labels.stream }} (id {{ $labels.id }})
      replication is not running"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') {{ $labels.stream }} (id {{ $labels.id }})
      replication is not running. Check Cartridge UI for details."

Even if async replication is "follows", it could be considered malfunctioning if the lag is too high. It also may affect Tarantool garbage collector work, see box.info.gc().

- alert: HighReplicationLag
  expr: tnt_replication_lag > 1
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') have high replication lag (id {{ $labels.id }})"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' have high replication lag
      (id {{ $labels.id }}), check up your network and cluster state."

High fiber event loop time leads to bad application performance, timeouts and various warnings. The reason could be a high quantity of working fibers or fibers that spend too much time without any yields or sleeps.

- alert: HighEVLoopTime
  expr: tnt_ev_loop_time > 0.1
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') event loop has high cycle duration"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' event loop has high cycle duration.
      Some high loaded fiber has too little yields. It may be the reason of 'Too long WAL write' warnings."

Configuration status displays Tarantool 3 configuration apply state. Additional metrics desplay the count of apply warnings and errors.

- alert: ConfigWarningAlerts
  expr: tnt_config_alerts{level="warn"} > 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') has configuration 'warn' alerts"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' has configuration 'warn' alerts.
                  Please, check config:info() for detailed info."

- alert: ConfigErrorAlerts
  expr: tnt_config_alerts{level="error"} > 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') has configuration 'error' alerts"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' has configuration 'error' alerts.
                  Latest configuration has not been applied.
                  Please, check config:info() for detailed info."

- alert: ConfigStatusNotReady
  expr: tnt_config_status{status="ready"} == 0
  for: 5m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') configuration is not ready"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' configuration is not ready.
                  Please, check config:info() for detailed info."

Cartridge issues and warnings aggregate both single instance or replicaset issues (like memory or replication issues we’ve discussed in another paragraphs) and Cartridge cluster malfunctions (for example, clusteride config issues).

- alert: CartridgeWarningIssues
  expr: tnt_cartridge_issues{level="warning"} > 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') has 'warning'-level Cartridge issues"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' has 'warning'-level Cartridge issues.
      Possible reasons: high replication lag, replication long idle,
      failover or switchover issues, clock issues, memory fragmentation,
      configuration issues, alien members."

- alert: CartridgeCriticalIssues
  expr: tnt_cartridge_issues{level="critical"} > 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') has 'critical'-level Cartridge issues"
    description: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' has 'critical'-level Cartridge issues.
      Possible reasons: replication process critical fail,
      running out of available memory."

metrics allows to monitor tarantool/http handles, see «Collecting HTTP request latency statistics». Here we use a summary collector with a default name and 0.99 quantile computation.

Too many responses with error codes usually is a sign of API issues or application malfunction.

- alert: HighInstanceHTTPClientErrorRate
  expr: sum by (job, instance, method, path, alias) (rate(http_server_request_latency_count{ job="tarantool", status=~"^4\\d{2}$" }[5m])) > 10
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') high rate of client error responses"
    description: "Too many {{ $labels.method }} requests to {{ $labels.path }} path
      on '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' get client error (4xx) responses."

- alert: HighHTTPClientErrorRate
  expr: sum by (job, method, path) (rate(http_server_request_latency_count{ job="tarantool", status=~"^4\\d{2}$" }[5m])) > 20
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Job '{{ $labels.job }}' high rate of client error responses"
    description: "Too many {{ $labels.method }} requests to {{ $labels.path }} path
      on instances of job '{{ $labels.job }}' get client error (4xx) responses."

- alert: HighHTTPServerErrorRate
  expr: sum by (job, instance, method, path, alias) (rate(http_server_request_latency_count{ job="tarantool", status=~"^5\\d{2}$" }[5m])) > 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') server error responses"
    description: "Some {{ $labels.method }} requests to {{ $labels.path }} path
      on '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' get server error (5xx) responses."

Responding with high latency is a synonym of insufficient performance. It may be a sign of application malfunction. Or maybe you need to add more routers to your cluster.

- alert: HighHTTPLatency
  expr: http_server_request_latency{ job="tarantool", quantile="0.99" } > 0.1
  for: 5m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') high HTTP latency"
    description: "Some {{ $labels.method }} requests to {{ $labels.path }} path with {{ $labels.status }} response status
      on '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' are processed too long."

Having too little requests when you expect them may detect balancer, external client or network malfunction.

- alert: LowRouterHTTPRequestRate
  expr: sum by (job, instance, alias) (rate(http_server_request_latency_count{ job="tarantool", alias=~"^.*router.*$" }[5m])) < 10
  for: 5m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Router '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') low activity"
    description: "Router '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' gets too little requests.
      Please, check up your balancer middleware."

If your application uses CRUD module requests, monitoring module statistics may track internal errors caused by invalid process of input and internal parameters.

- alert: HighCRUDErrorRate
  expr: rate(tnt_crud_stats_count{ job="tarantool", status="error" }[5m]) > 0.1
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: critical
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') too many CRUD {{ $labels.operation }} errors."
    description: "Too many {{ $labels.operation }} CRUD requests for '{{ $labels.name }}' space on
      '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' get module error responses."

Statistics could also monitor requests performance. Too high request latency will lead to high latency of client responses. It may be caused by network or disk issues. Read requests with bad (with respect to space indexes and sharding schema) conditions may lead to full-scans or map reduces and also could be the reason of high latency.

- alert: HighCRUDLatency
  expr: tnt_crud_stats{ job="tarantool", quantile="0.99" } > 0.1
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') too high CRUD {{ $labels.operation }} latency."
    description: "Some {{ $labels.operation }} {{ $labels.status }} CRUD requests for '{{ $labels.name }}' space on
      '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}' are processed too long."

You also can directly monitor map reduces and scan rate.

- alert: HighCRUDMapReduceRate
  expr: rate(tnt_crud_map_reduces{ job="tarantool" }[5m]) > 0.1
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: warning
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.alias }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') too many CRUD {{ $labels.operation }} map reduces."
    description: "There are too many {{ $labels.operation }} CRUD map reduce requests for '{{ $labels.name }}' space on
      '{{ $labels.alias }}' instance of job '{{ $labels.job }}'.
      Check your request conditions or consider changing sharding schema."

If there are no Tarantool metrics, you may miss critical conditions. Prometheus provide up metric to monitor the health of its targets.

- alert: InstanceDown
  expr: up == 0
  for: 1m
  labels:
    severity: page
  annotations:
    summary: "Instance '{{ $labels.instance }}' ('{{ $labels.job }}') down"
    description: "'{{ $labels.instance }}' of job '{{ $labels.job }}' has been down for more than a minute."

Do not forget to monitor your server’s CPU, disk and RAM from server side with your favorite tools. For example, on some high CPU consumption cases Tarantool instance may stop to send metrics, so you can track such breakdowns only from the outside.
