Blobfuse2 Health Monitor (Preview)

About

Blobfuse2 Health Monitor is a tool which will help in monitoring Blobfuse2 mounts. It supports the following types of monitors:

  1. Blobfuse2 Stats Monitor: Monitor the different statistics of blobfuse2 components like,

    • Total bytes uploaded and downloaded via blobfuse2
    • Events like create, delete, rename, synchronize, truncate, etc. on files or directories in the mounted directory
    • Progress of uploads or downloads of large files to/from Azure Storage
    • Keep track of number of calls that were made to Azure Storage for operations like create, delete, rename, chmod, etc. in the mounted directory
    • Total number of open handles on files
    • Number of times an open file request was served from the file cache or downloaded from the Azure Storage

  2. CPU and Memory Monitor: Monitor the CPU and memory usage of the Blobfuse2 process associated with the mount

  3. File Cache Monitor: Monitor the file cache directory specified while mounting. This monitor does the following,

    • Monitor the different events like create, delete, rename, chmod, etc. of files and directories in the cache
    • Keep track of the cache consumption with respect to the cache size specified during mounting

Note: Health Monitor runs as a separate process where one health monitor process is associated with monitoring one blobfuse2 mounted directory.

Enable Health Monitor

The different configuration options for the health monitor are,

  • enable-monitoring: true|false: Boolean parameter to enable health monitor. By default it is disabled
  • stats-poll-interval-sec: <TIME IN SECONDS>: Blobfuse2 stats polling interval (in sec). Default is 10 seconds
  • process-monitor-interval-sec: <TIME IN SECONDS>: CPU and memory usage polling interval (in sec). Default is 30 sec
  • output-path: <PATH>: Path where health monitor will generate its output file. It takes the current directory as default, if not specified. Output file name will be monitor_<pid>.json
  • monitor-disable-list: <LIST OF MONITORS>: List of monitors to be disabled. To disable a monitor, add its corresponding name in the list
    • blobfuse_stats - Disable blobfuse2 stats polling
    • cpu_profiler - Disable CPU monitoring on blobfuse2 process
    • memory_profiler - Disable memory monitoring on blobfuse2 process
    • file_cache_monitor - Disable file cache directory monitor

Sample Config

Add the following section to your blobfuse2 config file. Here file cache and memory monitors are disabled.

health_monitor:
  enable-monitoring: true
  stats-poll-interval-sec: 10
  process-monitor-interval-sec: 30
  output-path: outputReportsPath
  monitor-disable-list:
    - file_cache_monitor
    - memory_profiler

Output Reports

Health monitor will store its output reports in the path specified in the output-path config option. If this option is not specified, it takes the current directory as default. It stores the last 100MB of monitor data in 10 different files named as monitor_<pid>_<index>.json where monitor_<pid>.json(Zeroth index) is latest and monitor_<pid>_9.json is the oldest output file.
