+=========================
+ Tracing Ceph With LTTng
+=========================
+
+Configuring Ceph with LTTng
+===========================
+
+Use -DWITH_LTTNG option (default: ON)::
+
+ ./do_cmake -DWITH_LTTNG=ON
+
+Config option for tracing must be set to true in ceph.conf.
+Following options are currently available::
+
+ bluestore_tracing
+ event_tracing (-DWITH_EVENTTRACE)
+ osd_function_tracing (-DWITH_OSD_INSTRUMENT_FUNCTIONS)
+ osd_objectstore_tracing (actually filestore tracing)
+ rbd_tracing
+ osd_tracing
+ rados_tracing
+ rgw_op_tracing
+ rgw_rados_tracing
+
+Testing Trace
+=============
+
+Start LTTng daemon::
+
+ lttng-sessiond --daemonize
+
+Run vstart cluster with enabling trace options::
+
+ ../src/vstart.sh -d -n -l -e -o "osd_tracing = true"
+
+List available tracepoints::
+
+ lttng list --userspace
+
+You will get something like::
+
+ UST events:
+ -------------
+ PID: 100859 - Name: /path/to/ceph-osd
+ pg:queue_op (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (13)) (type: tracepoint)
+ osd:do_osd_op_post (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (13)) (type: tracepoint)
+ osd:do_osd_op_pre_unknown (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (13)) (type: tracepoint)
+ osd:do_osd_op_pre_copy_from (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (13)) (type: tracepoint)
+ osd:do_osd_op_pre_copy_get (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG_LINE (13)) (type: tracepoint)
+ ...
+
+Create tracing session, enable tracepoints and start trace::
+
+ lttng create trace-test
+ lttng enable-event --userspace osd:*
+ lttng start
+
+Perform some Ceph operation::
+
+ rados bench -p ec 5 write
+
+Stop tracing and view result::
+
+ lttng stop
+ lttng view
+
+Destroy tracing session::
+
+ lttng destroy
+
+=========================
+ Tracing Ceph With Blkin
+=========================
+
+Ceph can use Blkin, a library created by Marios Kogias and others,
+which enables tracking a specific request from the time it enters
+the system at higher levels till it is finally served by RADOS.
+
+In general, Blkin implements the Dapper_ tracing semantics
+in order to show the causal relationships between the different
+processing phases that an IO request may trigger. The goal is an
+end-to-end visualisation of the request's route in the system,
+accompanied by information concerning latencies in each processing
+phase. Thanks to LTTng this can happen with a minimal overhead and
+in realtime. The LTTng traces can then be visualized with Twitter's
+Zipkin_.

+
+
+Configuring Ceph with Blkin
+===========================
+
+Use -DWITH_BLKIN option (which requires -DWITH_LTTNG)::
+
+ ./do_cmake -DWITH_LTTNG=ON -DWITH_BLKIN=ON
+
+Config option for blkin must be set to true in ceph.conf.
+Following options are currently available::
+
+ rbd_blkin_trace_all
+ osd_blkin_trace_all
+ osdc_blkin_trace_all
+
+Testing Blkin
+=============
+
+It's easy to test Ceph's Blkin tracing. Let's assume you don't have
+Ceph already running, and you compiled Ceph with Blkin support but
+you didn't install it. Then launch Ceph with the ``vstart.sh`` script
+in Ceph's src directory so you can see the possible tracepoints.::
+
+ OSD=3 MON=3 RGW=1 ../src/vstart.sh -n -o "rbd_blkin_trace_all"
+ lttng list --userspace
+
+You'll see something like the following:::
+
+ UST events:
+ -------------
+ PID: 8987 - Name: ./ceph-osd
+ zipkin:timestamp (loglevel: TRACE_WARNING (4)) (type: tracepoint)
+ zipkin:keyval_integer (loglevel: TRACE_WARNING (4)) (type: tracepoint)
+ zipkin:keyval_string (loglevel: TRACE_WARNING (4)) (type: tracepoint)
+ lttng_ust_tracelog:TRACE_DEBUG (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG (14)) (type: tracepoint)
+
+ PID: 8407 - Name: ./ceph-mon
+ zipkin:timestamp (loglevel: TRACE_WARNING (4)) (type: tracepoint)
+ zipkin:keyval_integer (loglevel: TRACE_WARNING (4)) (type: tracepoint)
+ zipkin:keyval_string (loglevel: TRACE_WARNING (4)) (type: tracepoint)
+ lttng_ust_tracelog:TRACE_DEBUG (loglevel: TRACE_DEBUG (14)) (type: tracepoint)
+
+ ...
+
+Next, stop Ceph so that the tracepoints can be enabled.::
+
+ ../src/stop.sh
+
+Start up an LTTng session and enable the tracepoints.::
+
+ lttng create blkin-test
+ lttng enable-event --userspace zipkin:timestamp
+ lttng enable-event --userspace zipkin:keyval_integer
+ lttng enable-event --userspace zipkin:keyval_string
+ lttng start
+
+Then start up Ceph again.::
+
+ OSD=3 MON=3 RGW=1 ../src/vstart.sh -n -o "rbd_blkin_trace_all"
+
+You may want to check that ceph is up.::
+
+ ceph status
+
+Now put something in using rados, check that it made it, get it back, and remove it.::
+
+ ceph osd pool create test-blkin
+ rados put test-object-1 ../src/vstart.sh --pool=test-blkin
+ rados -p test-blkin ls
+ ceph osd map test-blkin test-object-1
+ rados get test-object-1 ./vstart-copy.sh --pool=test-blkin
+ md5sum vstart*
+ rados rm test-object-1 --pool=test-blkin
+
+You could also use the example in ``examples/librados/`` or ``rados bench``.
+
+Then stop the LTTng session and see what was collected.::
+
+ lttng stop
+ lttng view
+
+You'll see something like:::
+
+ [15:33:08.884275486] (+0.000225472) ubuntu zipkin:timestamp: { cpu_id = 53 }, { trace_name = "op", service_name = "Objecter", port_no = 0, ip = "0.0.0.0", trace_id = 5485970765435202833, span_id = 5485970765435202833, parent_span_id = 0, event = "osd op reply" }
+ [15:33:08.884614135] (+0.000002839) ubuntu zipkin:keyval_integer: { cpu_id = 10 }, { trace_name = "", service_name = "Messenger", port_no = 6805, ip = "0.0.0.0", trace_id = 7381732770245808782, span_id = 7387710183742669839, parent_span_id = 1205040135881905799, key = "tid", val = 2 }
+ [15:33:08.884616431] (+0.000002296) ubuntu zipkin:keyval_string: { cpu_id = 10 }, { trace_name = "", service_name = "Messenger", port_no = 6805, ip = "0.0.0.0", trace_id = 7381732770245808782, span_id = 7387710183742669839, parent_span_id = 1205040135881905799, key = "entity type", val = "client" }
+
+
+Install Zipkin
+===============
+One of the points of using Blkin is so that you can look at the traces
+using Zipkin. Users should run Zipkin as a tracepoints collector and
+also a web service. The executable jar runs a collector on port 9410 and
+the web interface on port 9411
+
+Download Zipkin Package::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/openzipkin/zipkin && cd zipkin
+ wget -O zipkin.jar 'https://search.maven.org/remote_content?g=io.zipkin.java&a=zipkin-server&v=LATEST&c=exec'
+ java -jar zipkin.jar
+
+Or, launch docker image::
+
+ docker run -d -p 9411:9411 openzipkin/Zipkin
+
+Show Ceph's Blkin Traces in Zipkin-web
+======================================
+Download babeltrace-zipkin project. This project takes the traces
+generated with blkin and sends them to a Zipkin collector using scribe::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/vears91/babeltrace-zipkin
+ cd babeltrace-zipkin
+
+Send lttng data to Zipkin::
+
+ python3 babeltrace_zipkin.py ${lttng-traces-dir}/${blkin-test}/ust/uid/0/64-bit/ -p ${zipkin-collector-port(9410 by default)} -s ${zipkin-collector-ip}
+
+Example::
+
+ python3 babeltrace_zipkin.py ~/lttng-traces-dir/blkin-test-20150225-160222/ust/uid/0/64-bit/ -p 9410 -s 127.0.0.1
+
+Check Ceph traces on webpage::
+
+ Browse http://${zipkin-collector-ip}:9411
+ Click "Find traces"
