Container Service for Kubernetes:Use metrics and dashboards of kube-controller-manager

最終更新日:Sep 02, 2024

kube-controller-manager is a control plane component that is used to manage a variety of Kubernetes controllers, such as the node controller that manages nodes, the StatefulSet controller that manages StatefulSets, and the Deployment controller that processes Deployments. This topic describes the metrics of kube-controller-manager. This topic also describes how to use the dashboards of kube-controller-manager.

workqueue

Workqueue description

In most cases, the controllers managed by kube-controller-manager use workqueues to concurrently update resource objects in a secure manner. The controllers include the node controller, StatefulSet controller, and Deployment controller. Whenever a new event occurs, such as the creation, update, or deletion of a pod, the corresponding controller receives an event notification and adds the associated resource identifiers, such as the pod name and namespace in which the pod is deployed, to a workqueue. The controller continuously extracts the resource identifiers from the workqueue during its work cycle and processes the resources based on the related logic.

Metrics

Metrics can indicate the status and parameter settings of a component. The following table describes the metrics supported by kube-controller-manager.

Metric

Type

Description

workqueue_adds_total

Counter

The number of Adds events processed by the workqueue.

workqueue_depth

Gauge

The length of the workqueue. If the workqueue length remains at a high level for an extended period of time, the controller cannot process tasks in the workqueue in a timely manner, which results in task accumulation.

workqueue_queue_duration_seconds_bucket

Histogram

The duration for which a task remains in the workqueue. The bucket thresholds are defined as the set {10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5, 10-4, 10-3, 10-2, 10-1, 1, 10}. Unit: seconds.

memory_utilization_byte

Gauge

The memory usage. Unit: bytes.

cpu_utilization_core

Gauge

The used CPU capacity. Unit: core.

rest_client_requests_total

Counter

The number of HTTP requests calculated based on status codes, methods, and hosts.

rest_client_request_duration_seconds_bucket

Histogram

The HTTP response delay calculated based on Verbs and URLs.

Note

The following resource utilization metrics are deprecated. Remove any alerts and monitoring data that depend on these metrics at the earliest opportunity:

  • cpu_utilization_ratio: CPU utilization.

  • memory_utilization_ratio: Memory utilization.

Usage notes for dashboards

You can modify the quantile and interval parameters for the dashboards. The quantile parameter indicates the request quantile, and the interval parameter indicates the Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) sampling interval. Dashboards are generated based on metrics and PromQL. The following sections describe the observability and features of the dashboards of kube-controller-manager.

Workqueue

Features

Dashboard

PromQL

Description

Workqueue entry rate

sum(rate(workqueue_adds_total{job="ack-kube-controller-manager"}[$interval])) by (name)

The number of Adds events that are added to the workflow in the specified interval.

Workqueue depth

sum(rate(workqueue_depth{job="ack-kube-controller-manager"}[$interval])) by (name)

The change of the workqueue length in the specified interval.

Workqueue processing delay

histogram_quantile($quantile, sum(rate(workqueue_queue_duration_seconds_bucket{job="ack-kube-controller-manager"}[5m])) by (name, le))

The duration of the events in the workqueue.

Resources

Features

Dashboard

PromQL

Description

Memory Usage

memory_utilization_byte{container="kube-controller-manager"}

The memory usage. Unit: bytes.

CPU Usage

cpu_utilization_core{container="kube-controller-manager"}*1000

The used CPU capacity. Unit: millicore.

Kube API

Features

Dashboard

PromQL

Description

Kube API request QPS

  • sum(rate(rest_client_requests_total{job="ack-kube-controller-manager",code=~"2.."}[$interval])) by (method,code)

  • sum(rate(rest_client_requests_total{job="ack-cloud-controller-manager",code=~"3.."}[$interval])) by (method,code)

  • sum(rate(rest_client_requests_total{job="ack-cloud-controller-manager",code=~"4.."}[$interval])) by (method,code)

  • sum(rate(rest_client_requests_total{job="ack-cloud-controller-manager",code=~"5.."}[$interval])) by (method,code)

The number of HTTP requests sent by kube-controller-manager to kube-apiserver per second. The queries per second (QPS) value is calculated based on methods and status codes.

Kube API request delay

histogram_quantile($quantile, sum(rate(rest_client_request_duration_seconds_bucket{job="ack-kube-controller-manager"}[$interval])) by (verb,url,le))

The interval of time between a request sent by kube-controller-manager and a response returned by kube-apiserver. The delay is calculated based on Verbs and URLs.
