If this counter is close to 1000msec in a given 1 second timeframe the device is nearly 100% saturated. This plugin provides values averaged over a 5 minute time frame per default, so it can't catch short-lived saturations, but it'll give a nice trend for semi-uniform load patterns as they're expected in most server or multi-user environments. =head2 Device IO Time The C takes the counter described under C and divides it by the number of I/Os that happened in the given time frame, resulting in an average time per I/O on the block-device level. This value can give you a good comparison base amongst different controllers, storage subsystems and disks for similar workloads. =head2 Syscall Wait Time These values describe the average time it takes between an application issuing a syscall resulting in a hit to a blockdevice to the syscall returning to the application. The values are bound to be higher (at least for read requests) than the time it takes the device itself to fulfill the requests, since calling overhead, queuing times and probably a dozen other things are included in those times. These are the values to watch out for when an user complains that C. =head3 What causes a block device hit? A non-exhaustive list: =over =item * Reads from files when the given range is not in the page cache or the O_DIRECT flag is set. =item * Writes to files if O_DIRECT or O_SYNC is set or sys.vm.dirty_(background_)ratio is exceeded. =item * Filesystem metadata operations (stat(2), getdents(2), file creation, modification of any of the values returned by stat(2), etc.) =item * The pdflush daemon writing out dirtied pages =item * (f)sync =item * Swapping =item * raw device I/O (mkfs, dd, etc.) =back =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The core logic of this script is based on the B tool of the B package written and maintained by Sebastien Godard. =head1 SEE ALSO See C in your Linux source tree for further information about the C involved in this module. L has a nice writeup about the pdflush daemon. =head1 AUTHOR Michael Renner =head1 LICENSE GPLv2 =cut use strict; use File::Basename; use Carp; use POSIX; # We load our own version of save/restore_state if Munin::Plugin is unavailable. # Don't try this at home eval { require Munin::Plugin; Munin::Plugin->import; }; if ($@) { fake_munin_plugin(); } # Sanity check to ensure that the script is called the correct name. if (basename($0) !~ /^linux_diskstat_/) { die qq(Please ensure that the name of the script and it's symlinks starts with "linux_diskstat_"\n); } ############ # autoconf # ############ if ( defined $ARGV[0] && $ARGV[0] eq 'autoconf' ) { my %stats; # Capture any croaks on the way eval { %stats = parse_diskstats() }; if ( !$@ && keys %stats ) { print "yes\n"; } else { print "no\n"; } exit 0; } ########### # suggest # ########### if ( defined $ARGV[0] && $ARGV[0] eq 'suggest' ) { my %diskstats = parse_diskstats(); my %suggested_devices; DEVICE: for my $devname ( sort keys %diskstats ) { # Skip devices without traffic next if ( $diskstats{$devname}->{'rd_ios'} == 0 && $diskstats{$devname}->{'wr_ios'} == 0 ); for my $existing_device ( @{ $suggested_devices{'iops'} } ) { # Filter out devices (partitions) which are matched by existing ones # e.g. sda1 -> sda, c0d0p1 -> c0d0 next DEVICE if ( $devname =~ m/$existing_device/ ); } push @{ $suggested_devices{'iops'} }, $devname; push @{ $suggested_devices{'throughput'} }, $devname; # Only suggest latency graphs if the device supports it if ( $diskstats{$devname}->{'rd_ticks'} > 0 || $diskstats{$devname}->{'wr_ticks'} > 0 ) { push @{ $suggested_devices{'latency'} }, $devname; } } for my $mode ( keys %suggested_devices ) { for my $device ( sort @{ $suggested_devices{$mode} } ) { my $printdev = translate_device_name($device, 'TO_FS'); print "${mode}_$printdev\n"; } } exit 0; } # Reading the scripts invocation name and setting some parameters, # needed from here on my $basename = basename($0); my ( $mode, $device ) = $basename =~ m/linux_diskstat_(\w+)_([-+\w]+)$/; if ( not defined $device ) { croak "Didn't get a device name.
