# RustFS Observability Stack This directory contains the comprehensive observability stack for RustFS, designed to provide deep insights into application performance, logs, and traces. ## Components The stack is composed of the following best-in-class open-source components: - **Prometheus** (v2.53.1): The industry standard for metric collection and alerting. - **Grafana** (v11.1.0): The leading platform for observability visualization. - **Loki** (v3.1.0): A horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system. - **Tempo** (v2.5.0): A high-volume, minimal dependency distributed tracing backend. - **Jaeger** (v1.59.0): Distributed tracing system (configured as a secondary UI/storage). - **OpenTelemetry Collector** (v0.104.0): A vendor-agnostic implementation for receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry data. By default, this stack uses Tempo in single-binary mode and does not require Kafka/Redpanda. If you want the Kafka-backed HA Tempo path, use `docker-compose-example-for-rustfs.yml` together with `docker-compose-tempo-ha-override.yml`. ## Architecture 1. **Telemetry Collection**: Applications send OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) data (Metrics, Logs, Traces) to the **OpenTelemetry Collector**. 2. **Processing & Exporting**: The Collector processes the data (batching, memory limiting) and exports it to the respective backends: - **Traces** -> **Tempo** (Primary) & **Jaeger** (Secondary/Optional) - **Metrics** -> **Prometheus** (via scraping the Collector's exporter) - **Logs** -> **Loki** 3. **Visualization**: **Grafana** connects to all backends (Prometheus, Tempo, Loki, Jaeger) to provide a unified dashboard experience. ## Features - **Full Persistence**: All data (Metrics, Logs, Traces) is persisted to Docker volumes, ensuring no data loss on restart. - **Correlation**: Seamless navigation between Metrics, Logs, and Traces in Grafana. - Jump from a Metric spike to relevant Traces. - Jump from a Trace to relevant Logs. - **High Performance**: Optimized configurations for batching, compression, and memory management. - **Standardized Protocols**: Built entirely on OpenTelemetry standards. ## GET Performance Optimization Dashboards Three pre-built Grafana dashboards are included for monitoring RustFS GET performance optimization rollout: ### Available Dashboards | Dashboard | File | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | **GET Rollout Health** | `grafana-get-rollout-health.json` | Monitors optimization rollout: latency by reader path, early-stop hit rate, codec streaming usage, pipeline failures | | **GET Data Integrity** | `grafana-get-data-integrity.json` | Monitors data safety: bitrot verify failures, decode errors, short reads, shard read outcomes | | **GET Resource Impact** | `grafana-get-resource-impact.json` | Monitors resource usage: concurrent requests, IO queue utilization, disk permit wait, RSS trend | | **Object Data Cache** | `grafana-object-data-cache.json` | Monitors the GET body cache (`rustfs_object_data_cache_*`): hit ratio, lookup/plan/fill outcomes, fill duration quantiles, hit vs fill throughput, entries/weighted bytes, inflight fills, memory-pressure skips, invalidations, and size-class breakdowns | ### Prometheus Alert Rules The file `prometheus-rules/rustfs-get-optimization-alerts.yaml` contains pre-configured alerting rules: | Alert | Severity | Condition | |-------|----------|-----------| | `GetP99Regression` | Critical | GET p99 latency > 2x baseline for 10m | | `PipelineFailureSpike` | Critical | Pipeline failure rate > 5x baseline for 5m | | `BitrotMismatchSpike` | Critical | Bitrot mismatch rate > 3x baseline for 5m | | `EarlyStopInsufficientQuorum` | Warning | Early-stop insufficient quorum rate > 0.1/s for 5m | | `CodecStreamingFallbackSpike` | Warning | Codec streaming fallback > 10x baseline for 10m | | `IoQueueSaturation` | Warning | IO queue utilization > 90% for 5m | ### Enabling Alert Rules Add the alert rules file to your Prometheus configuration: ```yaml # prometheus.yml rule_files: - "/etc/prometheus/rules/*.yml" # Or mount the file in docker-compose.yml: # volumes: # - ./prometheus-rules:/etc/prometheus/rules ``` ### Dashboard Usage The dashboards are automatically provisioned when Grafana starts. They use the `${DS_PROMETHEUS}` datasource variable, so you need a Prometheus datasource configured in Grafana. Key panels to monitor during optimization rollout: 1. **GET Latency by Reader Path** - Compare `codec_streaming` vs `legacy_duplex` latency 2. **Early-Stop Hit Rate** - Verify early-stop is triggering effectively 3. **Pipeline Failure Rate** - Detect any new failure modes introduced by optimizations 4. **Bitrot Verify Failures** - Ensure data integrity is maintained ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites - Docker - Docker Compose ### Deploy Run the following command to start the entire stack: ```bash docker compose up -d ``` ### High Availability Tempo The default `docker-compose.yml` is the single-node stack. If you need the Kafka-backed HA Tempo configuration, start it with: ```bash docker compose -f docker-compose-example-for-rustfs.yml -f docker-compose-tempo-ha-override.yml up -d ``` ### Access Dashboards | Service | URL | Credentials | Description | | :------------- | :----------------------------------------------- | :---------------- | :----------------------------- | | **Grafana** | [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) | `admin` / `admin` | Main visualization hub. | | **Prometheus** | [http://localhost:9090](http://localhost:9090) | - | Metric queries and status. | | **Jaeger UI** | [http://localhost:16686](http://localhost:16686) | - | Secondary trace visualization. | | **Tempo** | [http://localhost:3200](http://localhost:3200) | - | Tempo status/metrics. | ## Configuration ### Data Persistence Data is stored in the following Docker volumes: - `prometheus-data`: Prometheus metrics - `tempo-data`: Tempo traces (WAL and Blocks) - `loki-data`: Loki logs (Chunks and Rules) - `jaeger-data`: Jaeger traces (Badger DB) To clear all data: ```bash docker compose down -v ``` ### Customization - **Prometheus**: Edit `prometheus.yml` to add scrape targets or alerting rules. - **Grafana**: Dashboards and datasources are provisioned from the `grafana/` directory. - **Collector**: Edit `otel-collector-config.yaml` to modify pipelines, processors, or exporters. ### Verifying RustFS Traces When RustFS points `RUSTFS_OBS_ENDPOINT` at this stack, treat the value as the OTLP/HTTP base URL, for example: ```bash export RUSTFS_OBS_ENDPOINT=http://host.docker.internal:4318 ``` RustFS automatically expands that base URL to: - `/v1/traces` - `/v1/metrics` - `/v1/logs` Important behavior notes: - Logs and metrics usually appear during startup, so seeing those two signals first is expected. - Visible trace data usually requires real HTTP/S3/gRPC request traffic after startup, because request-path spans are created on demand. - `RUSTFS_OBS_LOGGER_LEVEL=info` keeps the top-level request span but filters many nested `debug` spans. If Tempo or Jaeger looks sparse, retry with `RUSTFS_OBS_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug` before suspecting collector or Tempo issues. Minimal validation flow: ```bash # 1. Start this observability stack. docker compose up -d # 2. Start RustFS with OTLP/HTTP export and richer span visibility. export RUSTFS_OBS_ENDPOINT=http://host.docker.internal:4318 export RUSTFS_OBS_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug # 3. Generate real request traffic. curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9000/health curl -I http://127.0.0.1:9000/health/ready # 4. Inspect Grafana or Jaeger. # Grafana: http://localhost:3000 # Jaeger: http://localhost:16686 ``` If logs and metrics are present but traces are sparse, the most common cause is "no real request traffic yet" or "`info` level filtered nested spans", not an OTLP routing failure. ## Troubleshooting - **Service Health**: Check the health of services using `docker compose ps`. - **Logs**: View logs for a specific service using `docker compose logs -f `. - **Otel Collector**: Check `http://localhost:13133` for health status and `http://localhost:1888/debug/pprof/` for profiling.
