strong-agent API not working when run using node command #3

Open jondubois opened 10 years ago

jondubois commented 10 years ago

I'm running Node.js v0.11.14

I have a custom multi-process Node.js deployment and I want to track each process PID under a common app name. I couldn't get it working with strong-agent version >= 1.0.0 - It launches properly (the correct app name and PID show up on StrongOps) but I get a segmentation fault as soon as I turn on the CPU profiler from StrongOps.

This error happens regardless of what process I'm trying to track - I created a really basic Node.js server and the segmentation fault still happens (so it's not related to my specific project).

Note that everything works fine if I launch using:

slc run server.js

Unfortunately, this is not possible in my case since I have a custom multi-process architecture involving sticky load-balancer, worker and data-store processes.

So I would like to be able to run my app using:

node server.js

and then use:

var agent = require('strong-agent');
agent.profile(key, appName);

to track my metrics.

I did manage to get it working (kind of) using strong-agent version 0.4.14 (it doesn't crash with a seg fault) but when I check my CPU load using the top command (while my app is running with strong-agent), it shows that the process which I am monitoring is always using approx 100% of CPU even when it should in fact be idle - I tested with and without strong-agent and I can confirm that the CPU approaches 0% when strong-agent is not running. It looks like strong-agent is adding a lot of CPU overhead when it's running (maybe this is a bug with version 0.4.14).

Using v0.4.14 I can see graphs come up in StrongOps but they report very high CPU usage with a baseline of around 80% which is not accurate.

bnoordhuis commented 10 years ago

The way strong-agent checks CPU usage in v0.4.14 is rather inefficient on some platforms but that's fixed in v0.1.0.

About the segfault, can you try capturing a backtrace in gdb? Here is how you do that:

$ gdb --args node server.js
> run
# wait for the segfault
> thread apply all backtrace

Can you include the output of uname -a, node -p process.config and node -p process.versions? Thanks.

sam-github commented 10 years ago

Also, @jondubois, can you verify that the version of strong-agent you are using in both cases? Use slc -v to get the strong-agent version used by slc, and use npm ls | grep strong-agent to get the version you have installed in your app.

Is it possible that you originally used strong-agent with an older version of v0.11? Assuming you installed it with npm install strong-agent, can you:

$ rm -rf node_modules/
$ env V=1 npm_config_debug=1 npm install strong-agent
# please post the build log
$ gdb --args node server.js
# the `run` and `apply thread ...` thing again

Also:

jondubois commented 10 years ago

I created a new RedHat instance on EC2 (instead of the Amazon distro I was using earlier) and the problem persists.

It did work though when I installed the latest version of strong-agent using:

env V=1 npm_config_debug=1 npm install strong-agent

That said, when I run the top command while my node process is being profiled, the %CPU of that node process shows up as 99.9% and stays around that level even though the server is idle (same as what happened when I was using strong-agent v0.4.14).

node -p process.versions is:

{ http_parser: '2.3', node: '0.11.14', v8: '3.26.33', uv: '1.0.0', zlib: '1.2.3', modules: '14', openssl: '1.0.1i' }

bnoordhuis commented 10 years ago

Just to confirm, it's using 100% CPU when strong-agent is loaded? What's CPU consumption like without? Can you try the following? You may have to yum install perf first.

$ perf record -g -p $(pidof node)
# wait for about 30 seconds, then ^C
$ perf report -g flat --stdio

Can you post the output of perf report here?

jondubois commented 10 years ago

Interesting. The perf report appears to be normal. I had the CPU monitoring off for the first 15 seconds and turned it on for the remaining 15 seconds and it didn't go up to 100% as the top command suggests. The numbers coming up on the StrongOps dashboard appear to be accurate. I guess the top command doesn't play nice with strong-agent?

Here's the perf:

That looks pretty normal, and yes, top can be quite the CPU hog. Its basic mode of operation consists of polling lots of /proc files in a loop.

I'm still getting the performance issue - I don't know why it's showing up again. Usage according to StrongOps is 80% which doesn't sound right. Here's the perf log (this is on an idle Node.js process):

To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

@jondubois The call graphs suggest that the CPU profiler is running. It's not so much the CPU profiler that is the cost center here but the fact that it queries the kernel for the current time, something that is an expensive operation on most virtualized systems.

If your node version is <= v0.10.26 you should consider upgrading. I added a workaround in joyent/node@f9ced08 but it requires that the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_HZ_1000. Most distro kernels are but check grep CONFIG_HZ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/.config (the exact location depends on the distro) if unsure.

I'm using Node.js v0.11.14. Running on an EC2 instance - I tried running on both the Amazon distro and RedHat and I get the same issue. The command you provided produced no output on my system. When I entered grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config* I got:

/boot/config-2.6.35.14-97.44.amzn1.x86_64:# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set /boot/config-2.6.35.14-97.44.amzn1.x86_64:# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set /boot/config-2.6.35.14-97.44.amzn1.x86_64:# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set /boot/config-2.6.35.14-97.44.amzn1.x86_64:CONFIG_HZ_1000=y /boot/config-2.6.35.14-97.44.amzn1.x86_64:CONFIG_HZ=1000 /boot/config-3.2.21-1.32.6.amzn1.x86_64:# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set /boot/config-3.2.21-1.32.6.amzn1.x86_64:# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set /boot/config-3.2.21-1.32.6.amzn1.x86_64:# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set /boot/config-3.2.21-1.32.6.amzn1.x86_64:CONFIG_HZ_1000=y /boot/config-3.2.21-1.32.6.amzn1.x86_64:CONFIG_HZ=1000

bnoordhuis commented 10 years ago

The v0.11 series don't contain the fix, I haven't forward-ported it yet.

sam-github commented 10 years ago

So, summary @jondubois, is

jondubois commented 10 years ago

@sam-github, the seg fault happened when I installed strong-agent using:

npm install strong-agent

Installing it using:

env V=1 npm_config_debug=1 npm install strong-agent

Took care of the seg fault.

So now the only issue remaining is that strong-agent appears to be using a lot of CPU. It reports an idle process as using around 75% of the total CPU (but it should really be approaching 0% since it's idle - Running it without strong-agent profiling confirms this theory). Could the command I used to install strong-agent (with config_debug=1) be the cause of this issue?

I'll wait for the fix to be forward ported.

bnoordhuis commented 10 years ago

@jondubois The debug build is compiled at -O0 so yes, it will be slower. The difference is not normally noticeable unless you use the heapdiff component, the page on the dashboard that graphs the makeup of the JS heap over time.

If with node.js v0.10, you still get the segfault with release builds of the latest strong-agent, please post the stack trace and I'll take a look. The easiest way to get one is to turn on core dumps (ulimit -c unlimited), then after the crash:

$ gdb /path/to/node /path/to/corefile
> thread apply all backtrace

(I mention node.js v0.10 explicitly because the last couple of v0.11 releases have known bugs.)

Hi Ben,

This is a follow up on this issue: https://github.com/strongloop/strong-agent/issues/3 I managed to find some time to try strong-agent again on Node v0.10.

The segmentation faults are no longer occurring :) But strong-agent still appears to be using up a massive amount of CPU. I know we've been back and forth on that issue a bit, but I don't think I expressed the extent of the problem correctly so I created an account on a new Amazon instance so you can test it yourself.

Here are the SSH details (requires password auth):

host: [elided] username: [elided] password: [elided]

Once logged in:

  1. Navigate to the test/ directory
  2. vim server.js
  3. Change agent.profile(...) call to connect to your StrongOps dashboard
  4. node server.js
  5. Go to strongOps CPU profiler and start profiling
  6. Wait a few minutes
  7. Go to dashboard and check how much CPU it's using

On my machine it reports close to 100% (mostly 'user')

The Node.js server is idle so I don't understand why it's using so much CPU

Anyway, let me know how it goes.

Cheers, Jon

Jon, what you are seeing is not unexpected. The CPU profiler wakes up 1,000/second to record a sample (including when the process itself is sleeping) and that's in aggregate reasonably expensive.

It's not designed to be kept running indefinitely; you normally turn it on for 5 to 30 seconds to get some quick insights into what your application is doing. I'm not sure what our documentation says about it, but perhaps we need to be more explicit about that caveat (/cc @crandmck.)

The next strong-agent release will have a watchdog mode where the profiler is automatically activated and deactivated when a script is taking too long to execute (paid feature, however.)

I'm probably going to extend it so that it suspends the profiler when the process is sleeping. That would let you run the profiler for longer periods of time without undue overhead.

jondubois commented 9 years ago

I see. I was hoping I could use it as a long-running CPU monitoring + reporting tool but it appears to be intended for short-term debugging. I guess Strongloop doesn't offer any such tool (for tracking CPU use over time)?

In any case, thanks for your time and patience :)

bnoordhuis commented 9 years ago

Not yet / not quite. We can track aggregate CPU usage (what time(1) reports as user time) but while that is basically free, it doesn't tell you where your program spends its time. You need sample-based profiling for that but that has unavoidable overhead.

I've been experimenting with adjusting the sample frequency to reduce overhead while still retaining enough granularity to extract meaningful data, e.g. sampling at 333 Hz instead of 1000 Hz. It definitely lowers the overhead but it's not clear yet where the sweet spot is; maybe there isn't one and the frequency needs to be configurable or dynamic.

Longer term, we may start instrumenting V8's generated machine code with RDTSC (Read Timestamp Counter) instructions at function entry/exit and loop edges, although there are some caveats:

bnoordhuis commented 9 years ago

@jondubois If you're willing to be a guinea pig, please give bnoordhuis/node@24852b5 a try. On my EC2 box, it reduces the overhead from the CPU profiler by about 50%.

crandmck commented 9 years ago

I added a note to the docs stating that CPU profiling is not meant to run indefinitely.

jondubois commented 9 years ago

I will try running it using your patch sometime this week when I can find the time. Thanks.
