houseme 46e43f608f feat(observability): add Grafana dashboard for the object data cache (#4761)
The GET body cache exports 11 `rustfs_object_data_cache_*` metrics but no
bundled dashboard visualized them. This adds one so operators can see the
cache's behaviour without hand-writing PromQL.

New `grafana-object-data-cache.json` (auto-provisioned from the dashboards
directory, `${DS_PROMETHEUS}`, schema 38) with 19 panels covering every metric:
hit ratio and lookup outcomes, plan decisions and cacheable ratio, fill
outcomes and fill-duration quantiles, hit-vs-fill byte throughput, entries and
weighted bytes vs capacity, in-flight fills, memory-pressure skips,
invalidations by reason/outcome, and size-class breakdowns. PromQL matches each
metric's type — rate() for counters, histogram_quantile() for the fill-duration
histogram, direct reads for gauges.

The observability README (EN + ZH) dashboard table gains a matching row.

# 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 <service_name>`.
- **Otel Collector**: Check `http://localhost:13133` for health status and `http://localhost:1888/debug/pprof/` for profiling.
