basic monitoring functionality

[esraneufeld]

• [x] enable access to grafana dashboards to app-team / nik for s4l-lite
• [x] Settle on useful information / graphs that are displayed

[mrnicegyu11]

After the discussion with Nik, we set the following goals:

There shall be a grafana dashboard on aws-prod which targets only s4l-lite. We are free in preparing a first version to show to the POs. Some things of interest that shall be included if possible are:

• [x] Number of registered s4l-users
• [ ] Number of logged-in s4l-users
• [x] Number of s4l-lite studies open
• [ ] Resource usage s4l-lite, potentially by userid
• [x] Resource usage s4l-lite per machine
• [ ] Costs s4l-lite (requires some effort to add, as this data doesnt come from osparc but aws) this is tracked in https://github.com/ITISFoundation/osparc-issues/issues/922

For this functionality, we require:

• [x] user_id is propagated as a container label, so cAdvisor prometheus timeseries can be used
• [ ] https://github.com/ITISFoundation/osparc-simcore/issues/3588
• [ ] Connect AWS cost explorer, potentially flag/filter s4l-lite machines
• [x] Connect postgres to grafana or enable prometheus postgres exporter

CC @sanderegg @GitHK , potentially please add user_id is propagated to dy-sidecar case

[mrnicegyu11]

fyi this is related to https://github.com/ITISFoundation/osparc-issues/issues/679

[mrnicegyu11]

Planned for sprint Mithril:

• MVP (initial dashboard proposition) available on grafana osparc.io for Erdem & Nik

[elisabettai]

@mrnicegyu11, I hope then we can also solve this one for the NIH Metrics https://github.com/ITISFoundation/osparc-simcore/issues/3908 (we need to be able to remove puppeteers from the service usage metric)

[mrnicegyu11]

Goal for sprint Jelly Beans:

• Meeting with EO/NC to define future usage/goals
• Filter out puppeteer services in s4l-monitoring dashboard

[mrnicegyu11]

Done for sprint Jelly Beans:

• [x] Meeting with EO/NC presenting the dashboard, incentivicing further discussions about which metrics might be desireable to assess the usage of the app. EO will follow up with DK at this discretion.
• [x] Filter out puppeteer services in s4l-monitoring dashboard

[eofli]

Here is the list for S4Llite metrics/dashboard:

• number of active users at any time instance
• number of active users geographically
• number of instances of each tutorial (i.e., how many times each tutorial is launched)
• how long time spend in each of the tabs (modeling, simulation, analysis)
• how long each user is active in each logged-in session (also, average of all users)
• how many times each user is logged in a selected time period (also, the average of all users)
• number of failures in launching s4l lite
• number of solver failures
• response time (average, min, max to see if there is any correlation)
• number of notebook instances
• which tools/solvers used

[mrnicegyu11]

Goal for sprint Watermelon:

• Add prometheus export on PORT:/metrics in a s4l-lite service
• The dy-sidecar scrapes these metrics and exposes them on the dy-sidecar itself on PORT:/metrics
• Prometheus auto-discovers docker swarm services to be scraped if they have the docker service labels prometheus-job=SOME-STRING-THAT-DESCRIBES-YOUR-SERVICE and prometheus-port=PORT-WHERE-SLASH-METRICS-IS-SCRAPED set. The director-v2/dy-sidecar decide (based on info from the catalog / docker image labels of the dynamic service containers) if there is prometheus metrics to be scraped and sets the mentioned swarm service labels on itself if so, so prometheus will go there and collect the /etrics
• We will not keep information on the user/group/service-instance level but strictly keep averages across all s4-lite instances, in order to manage cardinality

Update Watermelon

User metrics collection implemented in sim4life:

• Tools (count, duration)
• Algorithms (count)
• Vip Models (count)
• Solvers (count)

Missing:

• Number of Notebooks used
• Success/failure of solvers

Example: MaG creating the Antenna Tutorial and loading a VIP model
