/puppetdb/latest/api/query/v3/metrics.html |
Querying PuppetDB metrics is accomplished by making an HTTP request
to paths under the /v3/metrics
REST endpoint.
Note In most cases PuppetDB is simply a conduit for mbeans made available by its components. PuppetDB makes no guarantee about the stability of mbean names.
To get a list of all available metric names:
- Request
/v3/metrics/mbeans
. - Use a
GET
request.
Responses return a JSON Object mapping a string to a string:
- The key is the name of a valid MBean
- The value is a URI to use for requesting that MBean's attributes
To get the attributes of a particular metric:
- Request
/v3/metrics/mbean/<name>
, where<name>
is something that was returned in the list of available metrics specified above. - Use a
GET
request.
Responses return a JSON Object mapping strings to (strings/numbers/booleans).
com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.query.population:type=default,name=num-nodes
: The number of nodes in your population.com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.query.population:type=default,name=num-resources
: The number of resources in your population.com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.query.population:type=default,name=avg-resources-per-node
: The average number of resources per node in your population.com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.query.population:type=default,name=pct-resource-dupes
: The percentage of resources that exist on more than one node.
com.jolbox.bonecp:type=BoneCP
: Database connection pool metrics. How long it takes to get a free connection, average execution times, number of free connections, etc.
Each of the following metrics is available for each command supported
in PuppetDB. In the below list of metrics, <name>
should be
substituted with a command specifier. Example <name>
s you can use
include:
global
: Aggregate stats for all commandsreplace catalog.1
: Stats for catalog replacementreplace facts.1
: Stats for facts replacementdeactivate node.1
: Stats for node deactivation
Other than global
, all command specifiers are of the form
<command>.<version>
. As we version commands, you'll be able to get
statistics for each version independently.
Metrics available for each command:
com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.command:type=<name>,name=discarded
: stats about commands we've discarded (we've retried them as many times as we can, to no avail)com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.command:type=<name>,name=fatal
: stats about commands we failed to process.com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.command:type=<name>,name=processed
: stats about commands we've successfully processedcom.puppetlabs.puppetdb.command:type=<name>,name=processing-time
: stats about how long it takes to process commandscom.puppetlabs.puppetdb.command:type=<name>,name=retried
: stats about commands that have been submitted for retry (due to transient errors)
PuppetDB automatically collects metrics about every URL it has served
to clients. You can see things like the average response time on a
per-url basis, or see how many requests against a particular URL
resulted in a HTTP 400 response code. Each of the following metrics is
available for each URL. The list of automatically generated metrics is
available via the /v3/metrics/mbeans
endpoint.
Additionally, we also support the following explicit names:
Note: The use of these explicit names is deprecated; please use, e.g., /v3/commands
instead.
commands
: Stats relating to the command processing REST endpoint. The PuppetDB termini in Puppet talk to this endpoint to submit new catalogs, facts, etc.metrics
: Stats relating to the metrics REST endpoint. This is the endpoint you're reading about right now!facts
: Stats relating to fact querying.resources
: Stats relating to resource querying. This is the endpoint used when collecting exported resources.
In addition to customizing <name>
, the following metrics are
available for each HTTP status code (<status code>
). For example, you can
see the stats for all 200
responses for the resources
endpoint. This allows you to see, per endpoint and per response,
independent counters and statistics.
com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.http.server:type=<name>,name=service-time
: stats about how long it takes to service all HTTP requests to this endpointcom.puppetlabs.puppetdb.http.server:type=<name>,name=<status code>
: stats about how often we're returning this response code
Metrics involving the PuppetDB storage subsystem all begin with the
com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.scf.storage:type=default,name=
prefix. There are
a number of metrics concerned with individual storage operations (storing
resources, storing edges, etc.). Metrics of particular note include:
com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.scf.storage:type=default,name=duplicate-pct
: the percentage of catalogs that PuppetDB determines to be duplicates of existing catalogs.com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.scf.storage:type=default,name=gc-time
: state about how long it takes to do storage compaction
java.lang:type=Memory
: memory usage statisticsjava.lang:type=Threading
: stats about JVM threads
org.apache.activemq:BrokerName=localhost,Type=Queue,Destination=com.puppetlabs.puppetdb.commands
: stats about the command processing queue: queue depth, how long messages remain in the queue, etc.
