Description Vladislav Walek 2018-11-07 15:33:22 UTC
Description of problem:

The Openshift-Monitoring provided by 3.11 is missing node-specific metrics:
- node_cpu
- node:node_num_cpu:sum
- node_memory_MemFreeCachedBuffers
- node_memory_MemTotal
- node:node_cpu_utilisation:avg1m
- node:node_num_cpu:sum
- node:node_cpu_saturation_load1
- node:node_memory_utilisation:ratio
- node:node_memory_swap_io_bytes:sum_rate
- node:node_disk_utilisation:avg_irate
the metrics should be available in Prometheus and subesequently be displayed in the dashboards of grafana.

Are the node-exporter targets healthy? (You can see this on the /targets page of the Prometheus UI)

Comment 15 trumbaut 2019-01-17 12:59:48 UTC
Having the same issue on OCP v3.11.59.

Yes, all are healthy. There are more tan 1.000 metrics available in Prometheus, but only a few node_* metrics:

node_collector_evictions_number
node_collector_unhealthy_nodes_in_zone
node_collector_zone_health
node_collector_zone_size
node_lifecycle_controller_rate_limiter_use
node_namespace_pod:kube_pod_info:

Comment 16 Frederic Branczyk 2019-01-17 13:30:55 UTC
Could you share the Pod definition of one of those node-exporter Pods as well as sample logs? Are you sure these are Pods from the `openshift-monitoring` namespace? The tech preview had a number of node-exporter collectors turned off, but the new stack should have all of these metrics. What you're seeing might be the node-exporter of the tech-preview stack.

Comment 17 trumbaut 2019-01-17 14:21:01 UTC
Looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1608288 is the reason. Despite the release of https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:2652, our legacy openshift-metrics project was still using port 9100 on all nodes (we upgraded from OCP 3.10.59 to 3.11.59 and performed https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/upgrading/automated_upgrades.html#upgrading-cluster-metrics afterwards).

Even after applying https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/pull/9749/commits/d328bebd71c57692024cb693a72e15d0cb8f6676 manually and removing the old DaemonSet for the openshift-metrics project, we have some issues witin the openshift-monitoring project:

- targets for kubernetes-nodes-exporter are down
- node-exporter pods are running except for the Infra Nodes due to port 9101/1936 being used by HAProxy

I will create as support case for this.

Comment 22 trumbaut 2019-02-04 13:19:07 UTC
Issues has been fixed for us:

- node-exporter pods on Infra Nodes couldn't started properly due to prom/haproxy-exporter pods as part of HAProxy routers (https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.5/install_config/router/default_haproxy_router.html#exposing-the-router-metrics). As these metrics were not used by us, we have deleted these pods (edited deployment configs).
- targets for kubernetes-nodes-exporter were down (except for the node where Prometheus was running) due to missing iptables rule, despite https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1563888. Fixed by adding "iptables -A OS_FIREWALL_ALLOW -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 9000:10000 -j ACCEPT" to all nodes.

MH, is there still something needed?

Comment 32 Junqi Zhao 2019-03-01 07:39:52 UTC
Did not find the 3.11 issue on AWS/GCE
Only one issue on 3.11 openstack, search "node:node_disk_utilisation:avg_irate" and "node:node_disk_saturation:avg_irate" in prometheus will meet error "No datapoints found.", this issue caused "Disk IO Utilisation" and "Disk IO Saturation" in grafana "K8s / USE Method / Cluster" page, and it is tracked in bug 1680517, AWS/GCE don't have this issue.

Comment 33 Junqi Zhao 2019-03-01 07:42:01 UTC
(In reply to Junqi Zhao from comment #32)
> this issue caused "Disk IO Utilisation" and "Disk IO
> Saturation" in grafana "K8s / USE Method / Cluster" page

change to
this issue caused "No data points" shows for "Disk IO Utilisation" and "Disk IO Saturation" in grafana "K8s / USE Method / Cluster" page on Openstack
