Tracing Add-on For Linkerd #3955
Conversation
As add-ons re-use the partials helm chart, all the templates needed by multiple charts should be present in partials This commit also updates the helm tests Signed-off-by: Tarun Pothulapati <tarunpothulapati@outlook.com>
Tracing sub-chart includes open-census and jaeger components as a sub-chart which can be enabled as needed Signed-off-by: Tarun Pothulapati <tarunpothulapati@outlook.com>
This includes new interface for add-ons to implement, with example tracing implementation Signed-off-by: Tarun Pothulapati <tarunpothulapati@outlook.com>
Changes include: - Adds an optional Linkerd Values configmap which stores add-on configuration when add-ons are present. - Updates Linkerd install path to check for add-ons and render their sub-charts. - Adds a install Option called config, which is used to pass confiugration for add-ons. - Uses a fork of mergo, to over-write default Values with the Values struct generated from config. Signed-off-by: Tarun Pothulapati <tarunpothulapati@outlook.com>
Upgrade path now checks for the linkerd-values cm, and overwrites the default values with it, if present. It then checks the config option, for any further overwrites Signed-off-by: Tarun Pothulapati <tarunpothulapati@outlook.com>
also adds relevant nil checks Signed-off-by: Tarun Pothulapati <tarunpothulapati@outlook.com>

Hi @Pothulapati, I'm starting to review this. Looks promising!
I guess this supersedes #3946? I like that you're just doing the tracing part here, as an example, and then Grafana and Prometheus can be done later as separate PRs 😉
Quick question: why having the addons directly under charts/linkerd2
and not directly under charts
?
Nit: An entry in .gitignore
has to be added to avoid pushing anything under charts/**/charts
(like partials-0.1.0.tgz
)
I'll be giving this a full test next week 🎉

Why not having the new --config
flag serve as overrides for all the values, not just for add-ons? And if so, it might be clearer to implement that as a preliminary PR...

The main reason is that, some fields in values
like config
etc are generated way before in the install/upgrade path but as we override them with config last in the pipeline, this would require us to again redo those values.
Sure, we can keep this overwrite logic in the start but that would require a lot of code-changes. So, the plan is to do that next but keep it out of this PR. WDYT?

I'm not sure I follow. Doesn't this overriding logic imply that only the values present in the file provided through --config
will get overridden, leaving all the others untouched? Why would it need to regenerate those other values? Maybe an example might help me understand 🙂

Ah, Sorry for not being clear.
My main concern is with this, as it is built by combining various values and is added in the linkerd-config
cm, we will have to regenerate that agian after the override this. We could regenrate that again if it was based on Values
struct but currently it is based on identityInstallOptions

Gotcha. Another reason to refactor this at some point in the future so we have to rely less on the structs in install.go and leverage those in values.go more directly 😉

I recommend excluding this change from this PR for now. It feels like a more complicated problem than we first thought. The addon will still work without the --config
flag, right? It will be restricted to just defaults in the values.yaml
.

Seems like the or

Also if tracing is not enabled then $dupValues

This if condition is to not have linkerd-values
cm to be deployed, when there are zero add-ons enabled. Hence, the or
condition but once we make the linkerd-values
common for all config, then we should be able to remove this if condition.

Thanks @Pothulapati, this tested great to me.
It tested well with helm install
, helm upgrade
, linkerd install
and linkerd upgrade
.
One bug though is that the --config
option is only available to the "control-plane" stage in both linkerd install
and linkerd upgrade
.
reg sub-charts in linkerd2
There is no particular problem regarding that, but my opinion was that, as the sub-charts can't be re-used individually i.e without linkerd2 parent chart, It made sense to be inside. :) but I can move it if needed.
Neither do we publish the "partials" nor "patch" charts, yet they reside under /charts
.
Various things to remember when this functionality gets documented:
- Note that the collector and Jaeger are installed in linkerd's namespace, which differs from the current tracing walkthrough doc
- Need docs on how to turn off (
tracing.enabled: false
pluskubectl apply --prune
I guess?)

I think this can be further simplified by removing this function and just calling LoadChart
directly and using .Dependencies
on the returned value.

In the patch I sent to @Pothulapati, I didn't want to call LoadChart()
in install.go
directly, to avoid confusion with the existing l5dchart.Chart

if the addon config is missing then the value of reflect.Indirect(r).FieldByName(strings.Title(name))
would be an empty map (zero value) to which you can safely apply MapIndex
, so no need of the nested if
nor the IsNil()
check.
You can also extract the common part of the remaining condition:
config := reflect.Indirect(r).FieldByName(strings.Title(name));
if config.MapIndex(reflect.ValueOf("enabled")).Interface().(bool) {
values, err := yaml.Marshal(config.Interface())
if err != nil {
return nil, false
}

@Pothulapati Also, I wasn't able to test, but it appears this new approach isn't complatible with multi-stage? One thing that occurs to me for that would be to enforce putting config-level templates under a separate |

@alpeb We did some more testing yesterday, and decided that the only way to make sure the addons code works for the different install/upgrade commands and subcommands is to follow the pattern that is used for the partials, where we provide the full path inside the VFS. Let us know what you think. Thanks! |

This works great for me 👍! I tested with install
, upgrade
, install config
, install control-plane
and inject
(with the --addon-config
flag), using the CLI from the target/
folder to make sure it's truly reading the templates from the VFS.
I liked how the previous changes allowed for so little customization to be required when adding a new add-on. So I was hoping the VFS loading logic, having being informed of the current stage, would be able to detect the stage some template belonged to given its subdir location or some other convention. Nice to have, but I would understand if that'd be too much at this point 🙂 |

Cool that you found a way around reflection!
OTOH, If the enable
property is not a boolean, this will cause a panic. Can you do instead something like
if enabled, ok := values.Tracing["enabled].(bool); !ok {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid value for 'Tracing.enabled' (should be boolean): ", values.Tracing["enabled"]);
} else if enabled {

@alpeb Yeah, I back out of it because previously, Tarun and I thought of introducing the usage of the Helm lib to load charts in this PR. Then in a separate PR, see if we can refactor the existing charts code to use the same mechanism. But that would make it impossible to run the CLI unit tests (afaict) without requiring everyone to run We feel what we did here is easier to reason about, because it offers the consistency of using the same pattern as that used by the existing code to render the Linkerd, partials and CNI charts.

Thanks @ihcsim for the detailed explanation, and @Pothulapati for implementing this. I agree about the pending helm-build
update, which can be tackled in a separate PR along with the extra CI step needed to publish the chart.
This looks good and tests fine for me! 🥇 🏆
## edge-20.2.3 This release introduces the first optional add-on `tracing`, added through the new add-on model! The existing optional `tracing` components Jaeger and OpenCensus can now be installed as add-on components. There will be more information to come about the new add-on model, but please refer to the details of [#3955](#3955) for how to get started. * CLI * Added the `linkerd diagnostics` command to get metrics only from the control plane, excluding metrics from the data plane proxies (thanks @srv-twry!) * Added the `linkerd install --prometheus-image` option for installing a custom Prometheus image (thanks @christyjacob4!) * Fixed an issue with `linkerd upgrade` where changes to the `Namespace` object were ignored (thanks @supra08!) * Controller * Added the `tracing` add-on which installs Jaeger and OpenCensus as add-on components (thanks @Pothulapati!!) * Proxy * Increased the inbound router's default capacity from 100 to 10k to accommodate environments that have a high cardinality of virtual hosts served by a single pod * Web UI * Fixed styling in the CallToAction banner (thanks @aliariff!)
Follows #3794
This PR adds the tracing components as a Linkerd Add-On. The add-on model follows the same consistent approach both through Helm and Linkerd CLI.
The following changes are part of this PR:
_nodeselectors.yaml
,etc required by multiple sub-charts topartials
for re-use. Also updating the relevant helm tests.partials
dependency (for injection). This sub-chart is also added as an optional dependency forlinkerd2
chart.Values.yaml
has been updated to include the tracing add-on config.linkerd-values
cm has been added which stores the add-on configurations, and will only be present when there is at-least one Add-On.installOptions
to include aconfig
option, through which the configuration for the add-ons is given to the CLI..Values.global
and the add-on values to the sub-chart.linkerd-values
cm exists, and updates the default addon values with the values present inlinkerd-values
, this is done to have persistent config upgrades.config
option present, and overwrite the default values further with the options from the config file. This allows users to change configuration of add-ons during upgrades.The logic to Overwrite the
values
struct, is done by this fork of mergo at https://github.com/pothulapati/mergo, because of this issue/decision from the official project.To try
tracing
as an add-on:config.yaml
linkerd install --config config.yaml --control-plane-tracing | kubectl apply -f -
and see the magic happen ;)
