There are a number of resource limits (called [[User Beancounters]], or UBC for short) set for a VE. If one of those resources hit its limit, the appropriate fail counter (last column of <code>/proc/user_beancounters</code>) increases. See [[Resource shortage]] for more info.

There can be many application who reads <code>/proc/user_beancounters</code>, and thus if you will reset it you gonna have problems with those other apps. Consider what happens if you will reset you sent/received packets/bytes statistics on the network interface — programs which reads will be screwed up.

There can be many applications that read <code>/proc/user_beancounters</code>, and thus if you will reset it, you may have problems with those other apps. Consider what happens if you reset your sent/received packets/bytes statistics on a network interface — programs which track it may not function properly.

So, the proper procedure of checking failcnt is not to check whether it is zero or not, but to check whether it is increased since the previous readout. In other words, check the difference, not the absolute value. It is easy to write a simple script to do just that.

Therefore, the proper usage of failcnt is not to check whether it is zero or not, but to check whether it is increased since the previous readout. In other words, check the difference, not the absolute value. There is a utility {{Man|vzubc|8}} which can be used for that purpose. Also, see [[#Bash script]] below.

OK, you can do so by restarting your VE. Since fail counters are for VE lifetime, they will be cleared after VE stop.
+
UBC failcnts are stored for the duration of the uptime of your container. Thus, restarting the container resets the counts.
  
−
The problem here is tcp time wait buckets can still there after a VE is stopped. You can check that by seeing the <code>held</code> column for <code>kmemsize</code> parameter. If it is not zero, that means you have to wait about 5 minutes in order to time wait buckets to expire, and the corresponding beancounter to be uncharged.

If you still see failcnt not reset to 0 after more than 5 minutes after VE is stopped, your kernel was likely compiled with CONFIG_UBC_KEEP_UNUSED=y, and in that case you'll have to switch off this option if you want to reset beancounters when VE is restarted.

If you're sure your kernel was NOT compiled with the above option and it's not resetting failcnt after 5 minutes, it means there is a bug in UBC code. Please file a detailed [[bug report]] to [http://bugzilla.openvz.org bugzilla.openvz.org]

== vzubc ==
 +
 
 +
{{Man|vzubc|8}} is a tool to show user beancounters in a decent human readable form. Its relative mode (option -r or --relative) is used to show the failcnt difference from the previous run. vzubc is available in vzctl package since vzctl-3.0.27.
 +
 
 +
== Alternative bash script ==
 +
 
 +
This script can show the failcount deltas for one or all containers since last reset, and reset the failcounts for one or all containers.
 +
 
 +
It uses only standard commands and programs that are usually included in all linux distro's:
 +
bash, cat, grep, awk, head, tail, printf
 +
 
 +
=== Installation ===
 +
 
 +
[[#beanc source code|Create the script]] and save it somewhere you can use it. This can either be in your home directory, or in a directory mentioned in your path variable (eg. /usr/sbin)
 +
 
 +
The script is intended to be used as root because it needs write permissions in a directory /var/lib/beanc. If that directory doesn't exist it needs write permissions in /var/lib to be able to create that directory.
 +
 
 +
You can also run it as any other user that has access to /proc/user_beancounters if you manually fix the permissions on /var/lib/beanc.
 +
 
 +
=== Show the beancounters ===
 +
beanc show
 +
this compares the contents of /proc/user_beancounters and the reference file, and shows you the delta value
 +
if no reference file exists, a copy of the user_beancounters file is used.
 +
to only show you the failcounts for 1 container, just add the ctid or container name to the command
 +
beanc show mailserver
 +
beanc show 102
 +
 
 +
=== Reset failcounters ===
 +
beanc reset mailserver
 +
beanc reset 102
 +
beanc reset                  --> will reset failcounters for all containers
 +
Confirmation will be asked.
 +
 
 +
=== Show only failcounts > 0 ===
 +
beanc brief
 +
 
 +
=== Initialize reference file ===
 +
beanc init
 +
 
 +
This will check if the app-directory exists (/var/lib/beanc) and create it if necessary
 +
It also creates a reference file (/var/lib/beanc/user_beancounters)
 +
 
 +
BEWARE, this command will overwrite any existing reference file !
 +

 +
# This script is intended to check the failcounts in user_beancounters on a OpenVZ machine.
 +
# Since there is no solid way to reset the failcounts, this script maintains a copy of the file and shows delta's
 +
#
 +
#
 +
# Filename: beanc
 +
# Version : 0.1
 +
#
 +
#
 +
# License:
 +
# -------
 +
#
 +
# By using this script you agree there are absolutely no limitations on using it. Ofcourse there are also
 +
# absolutely no guarantees. Please review the code to make sure it will work for you as expected.
 +
#
 +
# Feel free to distribute and/or modify the script.
 +
#
 +
# Only thing I will not appreciate is that you change my name into yours, and act like you wrote this script
 +
# But hey, why would you do that ?  And how will I ever know ?
 +
#
 +
# If you make changes, decide to distribute the script or feel the urge to give me feedback, please let me know.
 +
#
 +
#
 +
# Author(s):
 +
# ---------
 +
#
 +
# Written by Steven Broos, 7/7/2011 in a boring RHEL course
 +
#          Steven@Bit-IT.be
 +
#
 +
#
 +
# Usage:
 +
# -----
 +
#
 +
# 1. Copy the file to a location in your path, for example '/sbin/'
 +
# 2. Make sure the file can be executed ('chmod 500 /sbin/beanc')
 +
# 3. Use the script ;-)  At first execution the reference file will be created in '/var/lib/beanc/'
 +
#    Note that the script is written for intended use by root, and on the OpenVZ host system
 +
#    Possibly this script wont work in a cron-job or inside a container. This has not been tested
 +
#
 +
#
 +
# Options:
 +
# -------
 +
#
 +
# 1. Show the beancounters
 +
#
 +
#          beanc show
 +
#
 +
#    this compares the contents of /proc/user_beancounters and the reference file, and shows you the delta value
 +
#    if no reference file exists, a copy of the user_beancounters file is used.
 +
#    to only show you the failcounts for 1 container, just add the ctid or container name to the command
 +
#
 +
#          beanc show mailserver
 +
#          beanc show 102
 +
#
 +
# 2. To reset the failcounters for a container (or all containers):
 +
#
 +
#          beanc reset mailserver
 +
#          beanc reset 102
 +
#          beanc reset                  --> will reset failcounters for all containers
 +
#
 +
#    Confirmation will be asked.
 +
#
 +
# 3. It is also possible to only show the failcounters > 0
 +
#
 +
#          beanc brief
 +
#
 +
# 4. If for some reason you want to manually initialize the reference file, you can execute
 +
#
 +
#          beanc init
 +
#
 +
#    This will check if the app-directory exists (/var/lib/beanc) and create it if necessary
 +
#    It also creates a reference file (/var/lib/beanc/user_beancounters)
 +
#    BEWARE, this command will overwrite any existing reference file !
 +

One of the frequently asked question is How do I reset failcnt in /proc/user_beancounters? While it's not suggested, it is possible.

What is failcnt?[edit]

There are a number of resource limits (called User Beancounters, or UBC for short) set for a container. If one of those resources hit its limit, the appropriate fail counter (last column of /proc/user_beancounters) increases. See Resource shortage for more info.

How to clear failcnt?[edit]

You do not need to, and this would be an incorrect thing to do.

There can be many applications that read /proc/user_beancounters, and thus if you will reset it, you may have problems with those other apps. Consider what happens if you reset your sent/received packets/bytes statistics on a network interface — programs which track it may not function properly.

Therefore, the proper usage of failcnt is not to check whether it is zero or not, but to check whether it is increased since the previous readout. In other words, check the difference, not the absolute value. There is a utility vzubc(8) which can be used for that purpose. Also, see #Bash script below.

OK, I understand, but I still want to clear failcnt![edit]

UBC failcnts are stored for the duration of the uptime of your container. Thus, restarting the container resets the counts.

The problem here is tcp time wait buckets can still be there after a container is stopped. You can check that by seeing the held column for kmemsize parameter. If it is not zero, that means you have to wait about 5 minutes in order to time wait buckets to expire, and the corresponding beancounter to be uncharged.

If you still see failcnt not reset to 0 after more than 5 minutes after container is stopped, your kernel was likely compiled with CONFIG_UBC_KEEP_UNUSED=y, and in that case you'll have to switch off this option if you want to reset beancounters when container is restarted.

If you're sure your kernel was NOT compiled with the above option and it's not resetting failcnt after 5 minutes, it means there is a bug in UBC code. Please file a detailed bug report to bugs.openvz.org

vzubc[edit]

vzubc(8) is a tool to show user beancounters in a decent human readable form. Its relative mode (option -r or --relative) is used to show the failcnt difference from the previous run. vzubc is available in vzctl package since vzctl-3.0.27.

Alternative bash script[edit]

This script can show the failcount deltas for one or all containers since last reset, and reset the failcounts for one or all containers.

It uses only standard commands and programs that are usually included in all linux distro's: bash, cat, grep, awk, head, tail, printf

Installation[edit]

Create the script and save it somewhere you can use it. This can either be in your home directory, or in a directory mentioned in your path variable (eg. /usr/sbin)

The script is intended to be used as root because it needs write permissions in a directory /var/lib/beanc. If that directory doesn't exist it needs write permissions in /var/lib to be able to create that directory.

You can also run it as any other user that has access to /proc/user_beancounters if you manually fix the permissions on /var/lib/beanc.

Show the beancounters[edit]

beanc show

this compares the contents of /proc/user_beancounters and the reference file, and shows you the delta value if no reference file exists, a copy of the user_beancounters file is used. to only show you the failcounts for 1 container, just add the ctid or container name to the command 

beanc show mailserver
beanc show 102

Reset failcounters[edit]

beanc reset mailserver
beanc reset 102
beanc reset                   --> will reset failcounters for all containers

Confirmation will be asked.

Show only failcounts > 0[edit]

beanc brief

Initialize reference file[edit]

beanc init

This will check if the app-directory exists (/var/lib/beanc) and create it if necessary It also creates a reference file (/var/lib/beanc/user_beancounters)

BEWARE, this command will overwrite any existing reference file !

#
# This script is intended to check the failcounts in user_beancounters on a OpenVZ machine.
# Since there is no solid way to reset the failcounts, this script maintains a copy of the file and shows delta's
#
#
# Filename: beanc
# Version : 0.1
#
#
# License:
# -------
#
# By using this script you agree there are absolutely no limitations on using it. Ofcourse there are also
# absolutely no guarantees. Please review the code to make sure it will work for you as expected.
#
# Feel free to distribute and/or modify the script.
#
# Only thing I will not appreciate is that you change my name into yours, and act like you wrote this script
# But hey, why would you do that ?  And how will I ever know ?
#
# If you make changes, decide to distribute the script or feel the urge to give me feedback, please let me know.

# Author(s):
# ---------
#
# Written by Steven Broos, 7/7/2011 in a boring RHEL course
#          Steven@Bit-IT.be
#
#
# Usage:
# -----
#
# 1. Copy the file to a location in your path, for example '/sbin/'
# 2. Make sure the file can be executed ('chmod 500 /sbin/beanc')
# 3. Use the script ;-)  At first execution the reference file will be created in '/var/lib/beanc/'
#     Note that the script is written for intended use by root, and on the OpenVZ host system
#     Possibly this script wont work in a cron-job or inside a container. This has not been tested
#
#
# Options:
# -------
#
# 1. Show the beancounters
#
#          beanc show
#
#     this compares the contents of /proc/user_beancounters and the reference file, and shows you the delta value
#     if no reference file exists, a copy of the user_beancounters file is used.
#     to only show you the failcounts for 1 container, just add the ctid or container name to the command
#
#          beanc show mailserver
#          beanc show 102
#
# 2. To reset the failcounters for a container (or all containers):
#
#          beanc reset mailserver
#          beanc reset 102
#          beanc reset                   --> will reset failcounters for all containers
#
#     Confirmation will be asked.
#
# 3. It is also possible to only show the failcounters > 0
#
#          beanc brief
#
# 4. If for some reason you want to manually initialize the reference file, you can execute
#
#          beanc init
#
#     This will check if the app-directory exists (/var/lib/beanc) and create it if necessary
#     It also creates a reference file (/var/lib/beanc/user_beancounters)
#     BEWARE, this command will overwrite any existing reference file !
