turboboost55	7dc100714d	metrics: add cpu counters (#26796) ... This PR adds counter metrics for the CPU system and the Geth process. Currently the only metrics available for these items are gauges. Gauges are fine when the consumer scrapes metrics data at the same interval as Geth produces new values (every 3 seconds), but it is likely that most consumers will not scrape that often. Intervals of 10, 15, or maybe even 30 seconds are probably more common. So the problem is, how does the consumer estimate what the CPU was doing in between scrapes. With a counter, it's easy ... you just subtract two successive values and divide by the time to get a nice, accurate average. But with a gauge, you can't do that. A gauge reading is an instantaneous picture of what was happening at that moment, but it gives you no idea about what was going on between scrapes. Taking an average of values is meaningless.	2 years ago
Felix Lange	c539bda166	metrics: improve reading Go runtime metrics (#25886) ... This changes how we read performance metrics from the Go runtime. Instead of using runtime.ReadMemStats, we now rely on the API provided by package runtime/metrics. runtime/metrics provides more accurate information. For example, the new interface has better reporting of memory use. In my testing, the reported value of held memory more accurately reflects the usage reported by the OS. The semantics of metrics system/memory/allocs and system/memory/frees have changed to report amounts in bytes. ReadMemStats only reported the count of allocations in number-of-objects. This is imprecise: 'tiny objects' are not counted because the runtime allocates them in batches; and certain improvements in allocation behavior, such as struct size optimizations, will be less visible when the number of allocs doesn't change. Changing allocation reports to be in bytes makes it appear in graphs that lots more is being allocated. I don't think that's a problem because this metric is primarily interesting for geth developers. The metric system/memory/pauses has been changed to report statistical values from the histogram provided by the runtime. Its name in influxdb has changed from geth.system/memory/pauses.meter to geth.system/memory/pauses.histogram. We also have a new histogram metric, system/cpu/schedlatency, reporting the Go scheduler latency.	2 years ago
