/ Linux::GetPidstat

NAME

Linux::GetPidstat - Monitor each process metrics avg using each pidfile

SYNOPSIS

    use Linux::GetPidstat;

    my $stat = Linux::GetPidstat->new;
    $stat->run(%opt);

DESCRIPTION

Run pidstat -h -u -r -s -d -w -p $pid $interval $count commands in parallel to monitor each process metrics avg/1min.

Output to a specified file [and|or] mackerel service https://mackerel.io.

Motivation

A batch server runs many batch scripts at the same time.

When this server suffers by a resource short, it's difficult to grasp which processes are heavy quickly.

Running pidstat manually is not appropriate in this situation, because

the target processes are changed by starting each job.
the target processes may run child processes recursively.

Requirements

pidstat pstree

Usage

Prepare pid files in a specified directory.

    $ mkdir /tmp/pid_dir
    $ echo 1234 > /tmp/pid_dir/target_script
    $ echo 1235 > /tmp/pid_dir/target_script2
    # In production, this file is made and removed by the batch script itself for instance.

Run the script every 1 mininute.

    # vi /etc/cron.d/linux-get-pidstat
    * * * * * user carton exec -- linux-get-pidstat --no-dry_run --pid_dir=/tmp/pid_dir --res_dir=/tmp/bstat.log

Done, you can monitor the result.

    $ tail -f /tmp/bstat.log
    # start(datetime),start(epoch),pidfilename,name,value
