Monitoring: getting started

Tarantool

First, install the metrics package:

$ cd ${PROJECT_ROOT}
$ tarantoolctl rocks install metrics

Next, require it in your code:

local metrics = require('metrics')

Set a global label for your metrics:

metrics.set_global_labels({alias = 'alias'})

Enable default Tarantool metrics such as network, memory, operations, etc.:

metrics.enable_default_metrics()

Initialize the Prometheus exporter or export metrics in another format:

local httpd = require('http.server')
local http_handler = require('metrics.plugins.prometheus').collect_http


httpd.new('0.0.0.0', 8088)
    :route({path = '/metrics'}, function(...)
        return http_handler(...)
end)
    :start()

box.cfg{
    listen = 3302
}

Now you can use the HTTP API endpoint /metrics to collect your metrics in the Prometheus format. To learn how to obtain custom metrics, check the API reference.

Collect HTTP metrics

To enable the collection of HTTP metrics, you need to create a collector first.

local httpd = require('http.server').new(ip, port)

-- Create a summary collector for latency
local collector = metrics.http_middleware.build_default_collector('summary')

-- Set a route handler for latency summary collection
httpd:route({ path = '/path-1', method = 'POST' }, metrics.http_middleware.v1(handler_1, collector))
httpd:route({ path = '/path-2', method = 'GET' }, metrics.http_middleware.v1(handler_2, collector))

-- Start HTTP routing
httpd:start()

You can collect all HTTP metrics with a single collector. If you’re using the default Grafana dashboard, don’t change the default collector name. Otherwise, your metrics won’t appear on the charts.

Instance health check

In production environments, Tarantool Cartridge usually has a large number of so-called routers – Tarantool instances that handle input load. Various load balancers help distribute that load evenly. However, any load balancer has to know which routers are ready to accept the load at the moment. The Tarantool metrics library has a special plugin that creates an HTTP handler, which the load balancer can use to check the current state of any Tarantool instance. If the instance is ready to accept the load, it will return a response with a 200 status code, and if not, with a 500 status code.

Cartridge role

cartridge.roles.metrics is a Tarantool Cartridge role. It allows using default metrics in a Cartridge application and managing them via Cartridge configuration.

Usage

Add the metrics package to the dependencies in the .rockspec file. Make sure that you are using version 0.3.0 or higher.
```
dependencies = {
    ...
    'metrics >= 0.3.0-1',
    ...
}
```

Make sure that cartridge.roles.metrics is included in the roles list in cartridge.cfg in your entry point file (for example, init.lua):

local ok, err = cartridge.cfg({
    ...
    roles = {
        ...
        'cartridge.roles.metrics',
        ...
    },
})

To get metrics via API endpoints, use set_export.

Примечание

set_export has lower priority than clusterwide configuration and may be overridden by the metrics configuration.

local metrics = require('cartridge.roles.metrics')
metrics.set_export({
    {
        path = '/path_for_json_metrics',
        format = 'json'
    },
    {
        path = '/path_for_prometheus_metrics',
        format = 'prometheus'
    },
    {
        path = '/health',
        format = 'health'
    }
})

You can add several endpoints of the same format with different paths. For example:

metrics.set_export({
    {
        path = '/path_for_json_metrics',
        format = 'json'
    },
    {
        path = '/another_path_for_json_metrics',
        format = 'json'
    },
})

The metrics will be available on the path specified in path, in the format specified in format.

Since version 0.6.0, the metrics role is permanent and enabled on instances by default. If you use old version of metrics, you should enable the role in the interface:
After the role has been initialized, the default metrics will be enabled and the global label alias will be set. Note that the alias label value is set by the alias or instance_name instance configuration option (since 0.6.1).

You can use the functionality of any metrics package by getting it as a Cartridge service and calling it with require like a regular package:
```
local cartridge = require('cartridge')
local metrics = cartridge.service_get('metrics')
```
Since Tarantool Cartridge 2.4.0, you can set a zone for each instance in the cluster. When a zone is set, all the metrics on the instance receive the zone label.

To change the HTTP path for a metric in runtime, you can use the configuration below. Learn more about Cartridge configuration). It is not recommended to set up the metrics role in this way. Use set_export instead.

metrics:
  export:
    - path: '/path_for_json_metrics'
      format: 'json'
    - path: '/path_for_prometheus_metrics'
      format: 'prometheus'
    - path: '/health'
      format: 'health'

You can set custom global labels with the following configuration:

metrics:
  export:
    - path: '/metrics'
      format: 'json'
  global-labels:
    my-custom-label: label-value

Another option is to invoke the set_default_labels function in init.lua:

local metrics = require('cartridge.roles.metrics')
metrics.set_default_labels({ ['my-custom-label'] = 'label-value' })

You can use the configuration below to choose the default metrics to be exported. If you add the include section, only the metrics from this section will be exported:

metrics:
  export:
    - path: '/metrics'
      format: 'json'
  # export only vinyl, luajit and memory metrics:
  include:
    - vinyl
    - luajit
    - memory

If you add the exclude section, the metrics from this section will be removed from the default metrics list:

metrics:
  export:
    - path: '/metrics'
      format: 'json'
  # export all metrics except vinyl, luajit and memory:
  exclude:
    - vinyl
    - luajit
    - memory

For the full list of default metrics, check the API reference.
