Metrics reference

This page provides a detailed description of metrics from the metrics module.

General metrics

General instance information:

`tnt_cfg_current_time`	Instance system time in the Unix timestamp format
`tnt_info_uptime`	Time in seconds since the instance has started
`tnt_read_only`	Indicates if the instance is in read-only mode (`1` if true, `0` if false)

Memory general

The following metrics provide a picture of memory usage by the Tarantool process.

`tnt_info_memory_cache`	Number of bytes in the cache used to store tuples with the vinyl storage engine.
`tnt_info_memory_data`	Number of bytes used to store user data (tuples) with the memtx engine and with level 0 of the vinyl engine, without regard for memory fragmentation.
`tnt_info_memory_index`	Number of bytes used for indexing user data. Includes memtx and vinyl memory tree extents, the vinyl page index, and the vinyl bloom filters.
`tnt_info_memory_lua`	Number of bytes used for the Lua runtime. The Lua memory is limited to 2 GB per instance. Monitoring this metric can prevent memory overflow.
`tnt_info_memory_net`	Number of bytes used for network input/output buffers.
`tnt_info_memory_tx`	Number of bytes in use by active transactions. For the vinyl storage engine, this is the total size of all allocated objects (struct `txv`, struct `vy_tx`, struct `vy_read_interval`) and tuples pinned for those objects.

Memory allocation

Provides a memory usage report for the slab allocator. The slab allocator is the main allocator used to store tuples. The following metrics help monitor the total memory usage and memory fragmentation. To learn more about use cases, refer to the box.slab submodule documentation.

Available memory, bytes:

`tnt_slab_quota_size`	Amount of memory available to store tuples and indexes. Is equal to `memtx_memory`.
`tnt_slab_arena_size`	Total memory available to store both tuples and indexes. Includes allocated but currently free slabs.
`tnt_slab_items_size`	Total amount of memory available to store only tuples and not indexes. Includes allocated but currently free slabs.

Memory usage, bytes:

`tnt_slab_quota_used`	The amount of memory that is already reserved by the slab allocator.
`tnt_slab_arena_used`	The effective memory used to store both tuples and indexes. Disregards allocated but currently free slabs.
`tnt_slab_items_used`	The effective memory used to store only tuples and not indexes. Disregards allocated but currently free slabs.

Memory utilization, %:

`tnt_slab_quota_used_ratio`	`tnt_slab_quota_used / tnt_slab_quota_size`
`tnt_slab_arena_used_ratio`	`tnt_slab_arena_used / tnt_slab_arena_size`
`tnt_slab_items_used_ratio`	`tnt_slab_items_used / tnt_slab_items_size`

Spaces

The following metrics provide specific information about each individual space in a Tarantool instance.

`tnt_space_len`	Number of records in the space. This metric always has 2 labels: `{name="test", engine="memtx"}`, where `name` is the name of the space and `engine` is the engine of the space.
`tnt_space_bsize`	Total number of bytes in all tuples. This metric always has 2 labels: `{name="test", engine="memtx"}`, where `name` is the name of the space and `engine` is the engine of the space.
`tnt_space_index_bsize`	Total number of bytes taken by the index. This metric always has 2 labels: `{name="test", index_name="pk"}`, where `name` is the name of the space and `index_name` is the name of the index.
`tnt_space_total_bsize`	Total size of tuples and all indexes in the space. This metric always has 2 labels: `{name="test", engine="memtx"}`, where `name` is the name of the space and `engine` is the engine of the space.
`tnt_vinyl_tuples`	Total tuple count for vinyl. This metric always has 2 labels: `{name="test", engine="vinyl"}`, where `name` is the name of the space and `engine` is the engine of the space. For vinyl this metric is disabled by default and can be enabled only with global variable setup: `rawset(_G, 'include_vinyl_count', true)`.

Network

Sent bytes:

tnt_net_sent_total Bytes sent from the instance over the network since the instance’s start time

Received bytes:

tnt_net_received_total Bytes received by the instance since start time

tnt_cpu_time Host CPU time

tnt_cpu_thread

Tarantool thread CPU time. This metric always has the labels {kind="user", thread_name="tarantool", thread_pid="pid", file_name="init.lua"}, where:

kind can be either user or system
thread_name is tarantool, wal, iproto, or coio
file_name is the entrypoint file name, for example, init.lua.

There are also two cross-platform metrics, which can be obtained with a getrusage() call.

`tnt_cpu_user_time`	Tarantool CPU user time
`tnt_cpu_system_time`	Tarantool CPU system time

Vinyl

Vinyl metrics provide vinyl engine statistics.

Disk

The disk metrics are used to monitor overall data size on disk.

`tnt_vinyl_disk_data_size`	Amount of data in bytes stored in the `.run` files located in vinyl_dir
`tnt_vinyl_disk_index_size`	Amount of data in bytes stored in the `.index` files located in vinyl_dir

Regulator

The vinyl regulator decides when to commence disk IO actions. It groups activities in batches so that they are more consistent and efficient.

`tnt_vinyl_regulator_dump_bandwidth`	Estimated average dumping rate, bytes per second. The rate value is initially 10485760 (10 megabytes per second). It is recalculated depending on the the actual rate. Only significant dumps that are larger than 1 MB are used for estimating.
`tnt_vinyl_regulator_write_rate`	Actual average rate of performing write operations, bytes per second. The rate is calculated as a 5-second moving average. If the metric value is gradually going down, this can indicate disk issues.
`tnt_vinyl_regulator_rate_limit`	Write rate limit, bytes per second. The regulator imposes the limit on transactions based on the observed dump/compaction performance. If the metric value is down to approximately `10^5`, this indicates issues with the disk or the scheduler.
`tnt_vinyl_regulator_dump_watermark`	Maximum amount of memory in bytes used for in-memory storing of a vinyl LSM tree. When this maximum is accessed, a dump must occur. For details, see Наполнение LSM-дерева. The value is slightly smaller than the amount of memory allocated for vinyl trees, reflected in the vinyl_memory parameter.
`tnt_vinyl_regulator_blocked_writers`	The number of fibers that are blocked waiting for Vinyl level0 memory quota.

Transactional activity

`tnt_vinyl_tx_commit`	Counter of commits (successful transaction ends) Includes implicit commits: for example, any insert operation causes a commit unless it is within a box.begin()–box.commit() block.
`tnt_vinyl_tx_rollback`	Сounter of rollbacks (unsuccessful transaction ends). This is not merely a count of explicit box.rollback() requests – it includes requests that ended with errors.
`tnt_vinyl_tx_conflict`	Counter of conflicts that caused transactions to roll back. The ratio `tnt_vinyl_tx_conflict / tnt_vinyl_tx_commit` above 5% indicates that vinyl is not healthy. At that moment, you’ll probably see a lot of other problems with vinyl.
`tnt_vinyl_tx_read_views`	Current number of read views – that is, transactions that entered the read-only state to avoid conflict temporarily. Usually the value is `0`. If it stays non-zero for a long time, it is indicative of a memory leak.

Memory

The following metrics show state memory areas used by vinyl for caches and write buffers.

`tnt_vinyl_memory_tuple_cache`	Amount of memory in bytes currently used to store tuples (data)
`tnt_vinyl_memory_level0`	«Level 0» (L0) memory area, bytes. L0 is the area that vinyl can use for in-memory storage of an LSM tree. By monitoring this metric, you can see when L0 is getting close to its maximum (`tnt_vinyl_regulator_dump_watermark`), at which time a dump will occur. You can expect L0 = 0 immediately after the dump operation is completed.
`tnt_vinyl_memory_page_index`	Amount of memory in bytes currently used to store indexes. If the metric value is close to vinyl_memory, this indicates that vinyl_page_size was chosen incorrectly.
`tnt_vinyl_memory_bloom_filter`	Amount of memory in bytes used by bloom filters.

Scheduler

The vinyl scheduler invokes the regulator and updates the related variables. This happens once per second.

tnt_vinyl_scheduler_tasks

Number of scheduler dump/compaction tasks. The metric always has label {status = <status_value>}, where <status_value> can be one of the following:

inprogress for currently running tasks
completed for successfully completed tasks
failed for tasks aborted due to errors.

tnt_vinyl_scheduler_dump_time Total time in seconds spent by all worker threads performing dumps.

tnt_vinyl_scheduler_dump_total Counter of dumps completed.

Event loop metrics

Event loop tx thread information:

`tnt_ev_loop_time`	Event loop time (ms)
`tnt_ev_loop_prolog_time`	Event loop prolog time (ms)
`tnt_ev_loop_epilog_time`	Event loop epilog time (ms)

Synchro

Shows the current state of a synchronous replication.

`tnt_synchro_queue_owner`	Instance ID of the current synchronous replication master.
`tnt_synchro_queue_term`	Current queue term.
`tnt_synchro_queue_len`	How many transactions are collecting confirmations now.
`tnt_synchro_queue_busy`	Whether the queue is processing any system entry (CONFIRM/ROLLBACK/PROMOTE/DEMOTE).

Election

Shows the current state of a replica set node in regards to leader election.

`tnt_election_state`	election state (mode) of the node. When election is enabled, the node is writable only in the leader state. Possible values: 0 (`follower`) – all the non-leader nodes are called followers 1 (`candidate`) – the nodes that start a new election round are called candidates. 2 (`leader`) – the node that collected a quorum of votes becomes the leader
`tnt_election_vote`	ID of a node the current node votes for. If the value is 0, it means the node hasn’t voted in the current term yet.
`tnt_election_leader`	Leader node ID in the current term. If the value is 0, it means the node doesn’t know which node is the leader in the current term.
`tnt_election_term`	Current election term.
`tnt_election_leader_idle`	Time in seconds since the last interaction with the known leader.

Memtx

Memtx mvcc memory statistics. Transaction manager consists of two parts: - the transactions themselves (TXN section) - MVCC

TXN

tnt_memtx_tnx_statements are the transaction statements.

For example, the user started a transaction and made an action in it space:replace{0, 1}. Under the hood, this operation will turn into statement for the current transaction. This metric always has the label {kind="..."}, which has the following possible values:

total The number of bytes that are allocated for the statements of all current transactions.
average Average bytes used by transactions for statements (txn.statements.total bytes / number of open transactions).
max The maximum number of bytes used by one the current transaction for statements.

tnt_memtx_tnx_user

In Tarantool C API there is a function box_txn_alloc(). By using this function user can allocate memory for the current transaction. This metric always has the label {kind="..."}, which has the following possible values:

total Memory allocated by the box_txn_alloc() function on all current transactions.
average Transaction average (total allocated bytes / number of all current transactions).
max The maximum number of bytes allocated by box_txn_alloc() function per transaction.

tnt_memtx_tnx_system

There are internals: logs, savepoints. This metric always has the label {kind="..."}, which has the following possible values:

total Memory allocated by internals on all current transactions.
average Average allocated memory by internals (total memory / number of all current transactions).
max The maximum number of bytes allocated by internals per transaction.

MVCC

mvcc is responsible for the isolation of transactions. It detects conflicts and makes sure that tuples that are no longer in the space, but read by some transaction (or can be read) have not been deleted.

tnt_memtx_mvcc_trackers

Trackers that keep track of transaction reads. This metric always has the label {kind="..."}, which has the following possible values:

total Trackers of all current transactions are allocated in total (in bytes).
average Average for all current transactions (total memory bytes / number of transactions).
max Maximum trackers allocated per transaction (in bytes).

tnt_memtx_mvcc_conflicts

Allocated in case of transaction conflicts. This metric always has the label {kind="..."}, which has the following possible values:

total Bytes allocated for conflicts in total.
average Average for all current transactions (total memory bytes / number of transactions).
max Maximum bytes allocated for conflicts per transaction.

Tuples

Saved tuples are divided into 3 categories: used, read_view, tracking.

Each category has two metrics: - retained tuples - they are no longer in the index, but MVCC does not allow them to be removed. - stories - MVCC is based on the story mechanism, almost every tuple has a story. This is a separate metric because even the tuples that are in the index can have a story. So stories and retained need to be measured separately.

`tnt_memtx_mvcc_tuples_used_stories`	Tuples that are used by active read-write transactions. This metric always has the label `{kind="..."}`, which has the following possible values: `count` Number of `used` tuples / number of stories. `total` Amount of bytes used by stories `used` tuples.
`tnt_memtx_mvcc_tuples_used_retained`	Tuples that are used by active read-write transactions. But they are no longer in the index, but MVCC does not allow them to be removed. This metric always has the label `{kind="..."}`, which has the following possible values: `count` Number of retained `used` tuples / number of stories. `total` Amount of bytes used by retained `used` tuples.
`tnt_memtx_mvcc_tuples_read_view_stories`	Tuples that are not used by active read-write transactions, but are used by read-only transactions (i.e. in read view). This metric always has the label `{kind="..."}`, which has the following possible values: `count` Number of `read_view` tuples / number of stories. `total` Amount of bytes used by stories `read_view` tuples.
`tnt_memtx_mvcc_tuples_read_view_retained`	Tuples that are not used by active read-write transactions, but are used by read-only transactions (i.e. in read view). This tuples are no longer in the index, but MVCC does not allow them to be removed. This metric always has the label `{kind="..."}`, which has the following possible values: `count` Number of retained `read_view` tuples / number of stories. `total` Amount of bytes used by retained `read_view` tuples.
`tnt_memtx_mvcc_tuples_tracking_stories`	Tuples that are not directly used by any transactions, but are used by MVCC to track reads. This metric always has the label `{kind="..."}`, which has the following possible values: `count` Number of `tracking` tuples / number of tracking stories. `total` Amount of bytes used by stories `tracking` tuples.
`tnt_memtx_mvcc_tuples_tracking_retained`	Tuples that are not directly used by any transactions, but are used by MVCC to track reads. This tuples are no longer in the index, but MVCC does not allow them to be removed. This metric always has the label `{kind="..."}`, which has the following possible values: `count` Number of retained `tracking` tuples / number of stories. `total` Amount of bytes used by retained `tracking` tuples.
