Editing Monitoring openvz resources using munin

[[Category: Monitoring]]

[http://exchange.munin-monitoring.org/plugins/openvzcpu/details There is a plugin available on the Munin Exchange web site] which tracks CPU usage accross different containers.

[http://exchange.munin-monitoring.org/plugins/openvz_/details A second is also available via the Munin plugin exchange] which tracks beancounter values.

Additionally, there are several plugins available on this page to monitor beancounter values in [http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ Munin].
The third one tries to combine the other two.  (FIXME, maybe these should live in the Munin Exchange too?)

= "Simple" munin plugin =

The plugin listed below grabs all the beancounters' values.

This is not too performant but should do and the graphs are much
more readable then the first solution.


= Extended plugin from Jan Tomasek =
* Jan has posted another plugin on http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=15122, where I've fixed two things:
*# "exit 0" in the "config" block
*# Replaced "vals=($str); echo ${vals[0]}" with "echo ${str%% *}" (the former was causing problems I don't remember anymore)
* v1.3.2 (2008/08/09)
*# If only 1 variable is graphed, also display maxheld, barrier and limit
<source lang="bash">

# Munin's plugin to monitor OpenVZ bean counters.
#
# $Log$
# Revision 1.3 2007/07/19 12:57:00 Jan Tomasek <jan@tomasek.cz>
# * rewrited to work with /proc/bc/<VEID>/resources instead of
# /proc/user_beancounters, that simplified code and result
# is also bit faster.
# * added references to OpenVZ wiki
# Revision 1.3.1 2008/05/13 01:26:00 Daniel Hahler <http://daniel.hahler.de/>
# * Minor fixes
#   - "exit 0" in "config" block
#   - Use "echo ${str%% *}" in "suggest", instead of "vals=($str); echo ${vals[0]}"
#
# Revision 1.3.2 2008/08/09 12:30:00 Christian Rubbert <crubbert@xrc.de>
# * Feature
#   - If only 1 variable is graphed, also display maxheld, barrier and limit

= Munin plugin setup =
== Run as root ==
Please note, you have to configure plugin to run as root. Therefore, add the following to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/ somewhere:
  [vebc*]
  user root

== Installing the plugins ==
There's a single plugin file, which can be installed several times and can put several values into the same graph.
You should install the plugin from above to e.g. <code>/usr/local/share/munin/plugins/vebc_</code> and then put symlinks to there from /etc/munin/plugins.
The following script allows you to handle this easily:
To install this, you can use the following script:
<source lang="bash">
#!/bin/bash

FILE=`mktemp /tmp/ln-vebc-XXXXXX`

cd /etc/munin/plugins

for resources in kmemsize \
    lockedpages_privvmpages_shmpages_physpages_vmguarpages_oomguarpages \
    numproc \
    numtcpsock_numflock_numpty_numsiginfo_numothersock_numiptent \
    tcpsndbuf_tcprcvbuf_othersockbuf_dgramrcvbuf \
    dcachesize \
    numfile
do
    for VE in 0 `/usr/sbin/vzlist | sed "s/^ *//" |grep '^[0-9]' | cut -f 1 -d " "` ; do
        ln -sf /usr/local/share/munin/plugins/vebc_ "vebc_"$resources"_"$VE
        echo "vebc_"$resources"_"$VE >> $FILE
    done
done

# remove no longer deserved links (ie. links pointing to machines
# which were destroyed or stoped)

find -type l -name vebc_\* | sed "s/\.\///" | while read LN; do
    if grep ^$LN$ $FILE >/dev/null; then
        true
    else
        rm $LN
    fi
done

rm $FILE
</source>


= Alternative: Using vzlist =
This simple script will generate an overview of the requested stat from all VE's.
When using vzlist your saved from any changes to the beancounters.

== Usage ==
Simply append the variable you want to monitor:
<source lang="bash">ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/openvz_ /etc/munin/plugins/openvz_physpages</source>
