The goal is to provide a very simple way to monitor +worker threads utilization, as a percentage of the time they are busy and the amount +of requests served. + +## Design goals + +1. Minimal, if any, impact on the performance of the workers +2. Easy to be integrated into any kind of worker +3. No state of any kind at the worker side + +## How to use + +When a working thread starts, call: + +```c +void worker_register(const char *name); +``` + +This will create the necessary structures for the library to work. +No need to keep a pointer to them. They are allocated as `__thread` variables. + +Then job types need to be defined. Job types are anything a worker does that can be +counted and their execution time needs to be reported. The library is fast enough to +be integrated even on workers that perform hundreds of thousands of actions per second. + +Job types are defined like this: + +```c +void worker_register_job_type(size_t id, const char *name); +``` + +`id` is a number starting from zero. The library is compiled with a fixed size of 50 +ids (0 to 49). More can be allocated by setting `WORKER_UTILIZATION_MAX_JOB_TYPES` in +`worker_utilization.h`. `name` can be any string up to 22 characters. This can be +changed by setting `WORKER_UTILIZATION_MAX_JOB_NAME_LENGTH` in `worker_utilization.h`. + +Each thread that calls `worker_register(name)` will allocate about 3kB for maintaining +the information required. + +When the thread stops, call: + +```c +void worker_unregister(void); +``` + +Again, no parameters, or return values. + +> IMPORTANT: cancellable threads need to add a call to `worker_unregister()` to the +> `pop` function that cleans up the thread. Failure to do so, will result in about +> 3kB of memory leak for every thread that is stopped. + +When you are about to do some work in the working thread, call: + +```c +void worker_is_busy(size_t id); +``` + +When you finish doing the job, call: + +```c +void worker_is_idle(void); +``` + +Calls to `worker_is_busy(id)` can be made one after another (without calling +`worker_is_idle()` between them) to switch jobs without losing any time between +them and eliminating one of the 2 clock calls involved. + +## Implementation details + +Totally lockless, extremely fast, it should not introduce any kind of problems to the +workers. Every time `worker_is_busy(id)` or `worker_is_idle()` are called, a call to +`now_realtime_usec()` is done and a couple of variables are updated. That's it! + +The worker does not need to update the variables regularly. Based on the last status +of the worker, the statistics collector of netdata will calculate if the thread is +busy or idle all the time or part of the time. Works well for both thousands of jobs +per second and unlimited working time (being totally busy with a single request for +ages). + +The statistics collector is called by the global statistics thread of netdata. So, +even if the workers are extremely busy with their jobs, netdata will be able to know +how busy they are. diff --git a/libnetdata/worker_utilization/worker_utilization.c b/libnetdata/worker_utilization/worker_utilization.c new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bd3ad60e --- /dev/null +++ b/libnetdata/worker_utilization/worker_utilization.c @@ -0,0 +1,210 @@ +#include "worker_utilization.h" + +#define WORKER_IDLE 'I' +#define WORKER_BUSY 'B' + +struct worker_job_type { + char name[WORKER_UTILIZATION_MAX_JOB_NAME_LENGTH + 1]; + + // statistics controlled variables + size_t statistics_last_jobs_started; + usec_t statistics_last_busy_time; + + // worker controlled variables + volatile size_t worker_jobs_started; + volatile usec_t worker_busy_time; +}; + +struct worker { + pid_t pid; + const char *tag; + const char *workname; + uint32_t workname_hash; + + // statistics controlled variables + volatile usec_t statistics_last_checkpoint; + size_t statistics_last_jobs_started; + usec_t statistics_last_busy_time; + + // the worker controlled variables + volatile size_t job_id; + volatile size_t jobs_started; + volatile usec_t busy_time; + volatile usec_t last_action_timestamp; + volatile char last_action; + + struct worker_job_type per_job_type[WORKER_UTILIZATION_MAX_JOB_TYPES]; + + struct worker *next; +}; + +static netdata_mutex_t base_lock = NETDATA_MUTEX_INITIALIZER; +static struct worker *base = NULL; +static __thread struct worker *worker = NULL; + +void worker_register(const char *workname) { + if(unlikely(worker)) return; + + worker = callocz(1, sizeof(struct worker)); + worker->pid = gettid(); + worker->tag = strdupz(netdata_thread_tag()); + worker->workname = strdupz(workname); + worker->workname_hash = simple_hash(worker->workname); + + usec_t now = now_realtime_usec(); + worker->statistics_last_checkpoint = now; + worker->last_action_timestamp = now; + worker->last_action = WORKER_IDLE; + + netdata_mutex_lock(&base_lock); + worker->next = base; + base = worker; + netdata_mutex_unlock(&base_lock); +} + +void worker_register_job_name(size_t job_id, const char *name) { + if(unlikely(!worker)) return; + + if(unlikely(job_id >= WORKER_UTILIZATION_MAX_JOB_TYPES)) { + error("WORKER_UTILIZATION: job_id %zu is too big.
