TiDB-Binlog Monitoring |
Learn how to monitor the cluster version of TiDB-Binlog. |
reference |
|
After you have deployed TiDB-Binlog using Ansible successfully, you can go to the Grafana Web (default address: http://grafana_ip:3000, default account: admin, password: admin) to check the state of Pump and Drainer.
TiDB-Binlog consists of two components: Pump and Drainer. This section shows the monitoring metrics of Pump and Drainer.
To understand the Pump monitoring metrics, check the following table:
Pump monitoring metrics | Description |
---|---|
Storage Size | Records the total disk space (capacity) and the available disk space (available) |
Metadata | Records the biggest TSO (gc_tso ) of the binlog that each Pump node can delete, and the biggest commit TSO (max_commit_tso ) of the saved binlog |
Write Binlog QPS by Instance | Shows QPS of writing binlog requests received by each Pump node |
Write Binlog Latency | Records the latency time of each Pump node writing binlog |
Storage Write Binlog Size | Shows the size of the binlog data written by Pump |
Storage Write Binlog Latency | Records the latency time of the Pump storage module writing binlog |
Pump Storage Error By Type | Records the number of errors encountered by Pump, counted based on the type of error |
Query TiKV | The number of times that Pump queries the transaction status through TiKV |
To understand the Drainer monitoring metrics, check the following table:
Drainer monitoring metrics | Description |
---|---|
Checkpoint TSO | Shows the biggest TSO time of the binlog that Drainer has already replicated into the downstream. You can get the lag by using the current time to subtract the binlog timestamp. But be noted that the timestamp is allocated by PD of the master cluster and is determined by the time of PD. |
Pump Handle TSO | Records the biggest TSO time among the binlog files that Drainer obtains from each Pump node |
Pull Binlog QPS by Pump NodeID | Shows the QPS when Drainer obtains binlog from each Pump node |
95% Binlog Reach Duration By Pump | Records the delay from the time when binlog is written into Pump to the time when the binlog is obtained by Drainer |
Error By Type | Shows the number of errors encountered by Drainer, counted based on the type of error |
Drainer Event | Shows the number of various types of events, including "ddl", "insert", "delete", "update", "flush", and "savepoint" |
Execute Time | Records the time it takes to execute the SQL statement in the downstream, or the time it takes to write data into downstream |
95% Binlog Size | Shows the size of the binlog data that Drainer obtains from each Pump node |
DDL Job Count | Records the number of DDL statements handled by Drainer |
Currently, TiDB-Binlog monitoring metrics are divided into the following three types based on the level of importance:
- Description: Pump fails to write the binlog data to the local storage
- Monitoring rule:
changes(binlog_pump_storage_error_count[1m])
> 0 - Solution: Check whether an error exists in the
pump_storage_error
monitoring and check the Pump log to find the causes
-
Description: The delay of Drainer replication exceeds one hour
-
Monitoring rule:
(time() - binlog_drainer_checkpoint_tso / 1000)
> 3600 -
Solutions:
-
Check whether it is too slow to obtain the data from Pump:
You can check
handle tso
of Pump to get the time for the latest message of each Pump. Check whether a high latency exists for Pump and make sure the corresponding Pump is running normally -
Check whether it is too slow to replicate data in the downstream based on Drainer
event
and Drainerexecute latency
:- If Drainer
execute time
is too large, check the network bandwidth and latency between the machine with Drainer deployed and the machine with the target database deployed, and the state of the target database - If Drainer
execute time
is not too large and Drainerevent
is too small, addwork count
andbatch
and retry
- If Drainer
-
If the two solutions above cannot work, contact support@pingcap.com
-
-
Description: It takes too much time for Pump to handle the TiDB request of writing binlog
-
Monitoring rule:
histogram_quantile(0.9, rate(binlog_pump_rpc_duration_seconds_bucket{method="WriteBinlog"}[5m]))
> 1 -
Solution:
- Verify the disk performance pressure and check the disk performance monitoring via
node exported
- If both
disk latency
andutil
are low, contact support@pingcap.com
- Verify the disk performance pressure and check the disk performance monitoring via
- Description: The time it takes for Pump to write the local binlog to the local disk
- Monitoring rule:
histogram_quantile(0.9, rate(binlog_pump_storage_write_binlog_duration_time_bucket{type="batch"}[5m]))
> 1 - Solution: Check the state of the local disk of Pump and fix the problem
- Description: The available disk space of Pump is less than 20G
- Monitoring rule:
binlog_pump_storage_storage_size_bytes{type="available"}
< 20 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 - Solution: Check whether Pump
gc_tso
is normal. If not, adjust the GC time configuration of Pump or get the corresponding Pump offline
- Description: Drainer
checkpoint
has not been updated for one minute - Monitoring rule:
changes(binlog_drainer_checkpoint_tso[1m])
< 1 - Solution: Check whether all the Pumps that are not offline are running normally
-
Description: The transaction time it takes Drainer to replicate data to TiDB. If it is too large, the Drainer replication of data is affected
-
Monitoring rule:
histogram_quantile(0.9, rate(binlog_drainer_execute_duration_time_bucket[1m]))
> 10 -
Solutions:
- Check the TiDB cluster state
- Check the Drainer log or monitor. If a DDL operation causes this problem, you can ignore it
