Total time series in an 800 nodes cluster: 8301 none

Description Naga Ravi Chaitanya Elluri 2020-01-24 02:50:59 UTC
Description of problem:
we observed bunch of errors related to "caller=federate.go:184 component=web msg="federation failed" err="write tcp 127.0.0.1:9090->127.0.0.1:36894: write: broken pipe"" ( full log attached ) on a large scale 4.3 cluster ( 800 nodes ) built using 4.3.0-rc.3 payload. Looking at the logs, increasing the scrape_timeout and scrape_interval might help avoid this at large node counts. We are not exactly sure why the federation is enabled by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift build/payload version: 4.3.0-rc.3

How reproducible:
We haven't seen this error before as we didn't really scale the cluster to large number of nodes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a cluster using 4.3.0-rc.3 payload.
2. Scale the cluster to larger node counts.
3. Look at one of the prom replica logs.

Actual results:
caller=federate.go:184 component=web msg="federation failed" err="write tcp 127.0.0.1:9090->127.0.0.1:36894: write: broken pipe"

Expected results:
Metrics scraped within the scrape_timeout interval.

Tested with 4.4.0-0.nightly-2020-02-17-211020,
the "up" metric is replaced by "count:up0" and "count:up1", "node_uname_info" is removed
