CF exporter not working anymore

[mchabane]

Hello, Since some days our cf exporter does not work anymore with this error :

time="2024-07-01T13:34:50Z" level=error msg="[ 7] users error: The UAA service is currently unavailable" time="2024-07-01T13:34:50Z" level=debug msg="[ 7] users (done, 186 sec)"

We checked our UAA and did not find anything.

Hi @mchabane which version of prometheus boshrelease do you have in use?

[mchabane]

Hello, We were in 30.1.1, and we upgraded to 30.3.0 but it did not fix the issue.

[benjaminguttmann-avtq]

On the VM that is running the cf_exporter can you try to reach you configured API via something like nc -vz <api> 443

[mchabane]

nc command result : 443 port [tcp/https] succeeded!

We activated debug logs, and everything seems to work except "users". Here some log extracts :

what happens if you run

curl http://localhost:9193/metrics

does that print some error messages?

[mchabane]

No error, it's very long to answer, and we are missing a lot of metrics (cf_application, cf_info ...). We mostly have metrics about scraping.

Hello, I removed "Events" filter and it's work again. But I need this filter. What could i do on my cloud foundry fondation to simulate events collector and see what is not working? Thank you

[benjaminguttmann-avtq]

I would expect, you need to cf curl /v3/events @gmllt maybe you can answer that question better ?

[mchabane]

Hello, cf curl /v3/audit_events/ , /v3/app_usage_events and /v3/service_usage_events works well with my admin user account.

[mchabane]

It also work well by curl the api with the cf_exporter client token.

[gmllt]

Hello @mchabane To simulate the call made when retrieving events, you can play the following query: /v3/audit_events?per_page=5000&order_by=-created_at&created_ats=<time> where is the current time in UTC minus 15 minutes, and follow pagination in the api response.

Just in case, are you using pxc-release and if so, are you using MySQL version 8.0? We have seen an impact on cloudfoundry API response times in our environments with this version of MySQL.

[mchabane]

Hello @gmllt, We are not using mysql 8.0.

The pagination seems to be good, we have the same type of answer as an other foundation where we do not have issue.

[mchabane]

Hello @gmllt , We still have the issue, for the moment we've disabled events, but we need it. Here the pagination result: { "pagination": { "total_results": 4, "total_pages": 1, "first": { "href": "https://api.XXXXXv3/audit_events?created_ats=2024-08-14T08%3A37%3A00Z&order_by=-created_at&page=1&per_page=5000" }, "last": { "href": "https://api.XXXXX/v3/audit_events?created_ats=2024-08-14T08%3A37%3A00Z&order_by=-created_at&page=1&per_page=5000" }, "next": null, "previous": null },
