gs_check

Background

gs_check has been enhanced to unify functions of various check tools, such as gs_check and gs_checkos. It helps you fully check MogDB runtime, OS, network, and database running environments; as well as perform comprehensive checks on various environments before major operations in MogDB, ensuring smooth operation.

Precautions

  • Parameter -i or -e must be set. -i specifies a single item to be checked, and -e specifies an inspection scenario where multiple items will be checked.
  • If -i is not set to a root item or no such items are contained in the check item list of the scenario specified by -e, you do not need to enter the name or password of a user with the root permissions.
  • You can run -skip-root-items to skip root items.
  • If the MTU values are inconsistent, the check may be slow or the check process may fail to respond. When the inspection tool displays a message, change the MTU values of the nodes to be the same and then perform the inspection.
  • If the switch does not support the configured MTU value, process response failures may be caused due to communication problems even if the MTU values are the same. In this case, you need to adjust the MTU based on the switch.

Syntax

  • Check a single-item.

    gs_check -i ITEM [...] [-U USER] [-L] [-l LOGFILE] [-o OUTPUTDIR] [--skip-root-items][--set][--routing]
  • Check a scenario.

    gs_check -e SCENE_NAME [-U USER] [-L] [-l LOGFILE] [-o OUTPUTDIR] [--skip-root-items] [--time-out=SECS][--set][--routing][--skip-items]

  • If the number of nodes is less than six, the network load produced by speed_test may not fully occupy the bandwidth, and the check result will be inaccurate.

Defining a Scenario

  1. Log in as the OS user omm to the primary node of the database.

  2. Create the scenario configuration file scene_XXX.xml in the script/gspylib/inspection/config directory.

  3. Write check items to the scenario configuration file in the following format:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <scene name="XXX" desc="check cluster parameters before XXX.">
    <configuration/>
    <allowitems>
    <item name="CheckXXX"/>
    <item name="CheckXXX"/>
    </allowitems>
    </scene>

    item name indicates the check item name.

    Note: You need to ensure that the user-defined XML file is correct.

  4. Run the following command in the home/package/script/gspylib/inspection/config directory to deploy the file on each node where the check is to be performed:

    scp scene_upgrade.xml SIA1000068994: home/package/script/gspylib/inspection/config/

    img NOTE: home/package/script/gspylib/inspection/config is the absolute path of the new scenario configuration file.

  5. Switch to user omm and run the following command on an old node to view the check result:

    gs_check  -e XXX

Defining a Check Item

  1. Add a check item. Modify the script/gspylib/inspection/config/items.xml file in the following format:

    <checkitem id="10010" name="CheckCPU">
    <title>
    <zh>Check the CPU usage.</zh>
    <en>Check CPU Idle and I/O wait</en>
    </title>
    <threshold>
    StandardCPUIdle=30;
    StandardWIO=30
    </threshold>
    <suggestion>
    <zh>If the available space is insufficient and the CPU is heavily loaded, scale out the nodes. If iowait is too high, expand the disk capacity, which is the current performance bottleneck.</zh>.
    </suggestion>
    <standard>
    <zh>Check the CPU usage of the host. If the value of idle is greater than 30% and the value of iowait is less than 30%, this item passes the check. Otherwise, this item fails the check.</zh>
    </standard>
    <category>os</category>
    <permission>user</permission>
    <scope>all</scope>
    <analysis>default</analysis>
    </checkitems>

    • analysis: specifies how the check result is analyzed. default- is the default value, indicating that the result on every node is checked, and that an item passes the check only if it passes the check on all the nodes. consistent- indicates that each node returns a result, and that an item passes the check if all the results are consistent. custom- indicates other ways.

    Note: You need to ensure that the user-defined XML file is correct.

  2. Create a check script named Check XXXX**.py** in the script/gspylib/inspection/items directory. The directory should contain multiple folders, each storing a type of scripts. The format is as follows:

    class CheckCPU(BaseItem):
    def __init__(self):
    super(CheckCPU, self).__init__(self.__class__.__name__)
    self.idle = None
    self.wio = None
    self.standard = None
    
    def preCheck(self):
    # check the threshold was set correctly
    if (not self.threshold.has_key('StandardCPUIdle')
    or not self.threshold.has_key('StandardWIO')):
    raise Exception("threshold can not be empty")
    self.idle = self.threshold['StandardCPUIdle']
    self.wio = self.threshold['StandardWIO']
    
    # format the standard by threshold
    self.standard = self.standard.format(idle=self.idle, iowait=self.wio)
    
    def doCheck(self):
    cmd = "sar 1 5 2>&1"
    output = SharedFuncs.runShellCmd(cmd)
    self.result.raw = output
    # check the result with threshold
    d = next(n.split() for n in output.splitlines() if "Average" in n)
    iowait = d[-3]
    idle = d[-1]
    rst = ResultStatus.OK
    vals = []
    if (iowait > self.wio):
    rst = ResultStatus.NG
    vals.append("The %s actual value %s is greater than expected value %s" % ("IOWait", iowait, self.wio))
    if (idle < self.idle):
    rst = ResultStatus.NG
    vals.append("The %s actual value %s is less than expected value %s" % ("Idle", idle, self.idle))
    self.result.rst = rst
    if (vals):
    self.result.val = "\n".join(vals)

    A script is developed based on the BaseItem class, which defines the common check process, result analysis method, and default output format. Extended parameters:

      • ERROR: indicates that the check is interrupted due to an internal error.
    • preCheck: checks prerequisites. Its value can be cnPreCheck, which checks whether a primary database node instance is deployed on the current execution node; or localPreCheck, which checks whether the current execution node is specified for the check. You can set it using scope in the check item configuration file. This method can be reloaded to perform customized pre-checks.

    • postAnalysis specifies how the check result is analyzed. Its value can be default or consistent. You can set it using analysis in the check item configuration file. This method can be reloaded to perform customized result analysis.

    Note: The name of a user-defined check item cannot be the same as the name of an existing check item. In addition, you need to ensure that the user-defined check item script is standard.

  3. Deploy the script on all execution nodes.

  4. Log in to the nodes added in a scale-out as user root or to old nodes as user omm. Run the following commands as required and view the result:

    To locally perform a check, run the following command:

    gs_check -i CheckXXX  -L

    To remotely perform a check, run the following command:

    gs_check -i CheckXXX

OS Parameters

Table 2 OS parameters

Parameter Description Recommended Value
net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets Specifies the maximum number of TCP/IP connections concurrently remaining in the TIME_WAIT state. If the number of TCP/IP connections concurrently remaining in the TIME_WAITstate exceeds the value of this parameter, the TCP/IP connections in the TIME_WAIT state will be released immediately, and alarm information will be printed. 10000
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse Reuses sockets whose status is TIME-WAIT for new TCP connections.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.
1
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle Rapidly reclaims sockets whose status is TIME-WAIT in TCP connections.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.
1
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time Specifies how often Keepalived messages are sent through TCP connections when Keepalived is enabled. 30
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes Specifies the number of Keepalived detection packets sent through a TCP connection before the connection is regarded invalid. The product of the parameter value multiplied by the value of the tcp_keepalive_intvl parameter determines the response timeout duration after a Keepalived message is sent through a connection. 9
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl Specifies how often a detection packet is re-sent when the previous packets are not acknowledged. 30
net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 Specifies the maximum TCP reattempts during connection establishment. 5
net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries Specifies the maximum SYN packet reattempts in the TCP. 5
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries Specifies the maximum SYN response packet reattempts in the TCP. 5
net.ipv4.tcp_retries2 Specifies the number of times that the kernel re-sends data to a connected remote host. A smaller value leads to earlier detection of an invalid connection to the remote host, and the server can quickly release this connection.
If "connection reset by peer" is displayed, increase the value of this parameter to avoid the problem.
12
vm.overcommit_memory Specifies the kernel check method during memory allocation.
- 0: The system accurately calculates the current available memory.
- 1: The system returns a success message without a kernel check.
- 2: The system returns a failure message if the memory size you have applied for exceeds the result of the following formula: Total memory size x Value of vm.overcommit_ratio / 100 + Total SWAP size.
The default value for a kernel is 2, which is too conservative. The recommended value is 0. If system loads are high, set this parameter to1.
0
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem Specifies the free memory in the TCP receiver buffer. Three memory size ranges in the unit of page are provided: min, default, and max. 8192 250000 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem Specifies the free memory in the TCP sender buffer. Three memory size ranges in the unit of page are provided: min, default, and max. 8192 250000 16777216
net.core.wmem_max Specifies the maximum size of the socket sender buffer. 21299200
net.core.rmem_max Specifies the maximum size of the socket receiver buffer. 21299200
net.core.wmem_default Specifies the default size of the socket sender buffer. 21299200
net.core.rmem_default Specifies the default size of the socket receiver buffer. 21299200
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range Specifies the range of temporary ports that can be used by a physical server. 26000-65535
kernel.sem Specifies the kernel semaphore. 250 6400000 1000 25600
vm.min_free_kbytes Specifies the minimum free physical memory reserved for unexpected page breaks. 5% of the total system memory
net.core.somaxconn Specifies the maximum length of the listening queue of each port. This is a global parameter. 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies Specifies whether to enable SYN cookies to guard the OS against SYN attacks when the SYN waiting queue overflows.
- 0: The SYN cookies are disabled.
- 1: The SYN cookies are enabled.
1
net.core.netdev_max_backlog Specifies the maximum number of data packets that can be sent to the queue when the rate at which the network device receives data packets is higher than that at which the kernel processes the data packets. 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog Specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged connection requests to be recorded. 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout Specifies the default timeout. 60
kernel.shmall Specifies the total shared free memory of the kernel. 1152921504606846720
kernel.shmmax Specifies the maximum value of a shared memory segment. 18446744073709551615
net.ipv4.tcp_sack Specifies whether selective acknowledgment is enabled. The selective acknowledgment on out-of-order packets can increase system performance. Restricting users to sending only lost packets (for wide area networks) should be enabled, but this will increase CPU usage.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.
1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps Specifies whether the TCP timestamp (12 bytes are added in the TCP packet header) enables a more accurate RTT calculation than the retransmission timeout (for details, see RFC 1323) for better performance.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.
1
vm.extfrag_threshold When system memory is insufficient, Linux will score the current system memory fragments. If the score is higher than the value of vm.extfrag_threshold,kswapd triggers memory compaction. When the value of this parameter is close to 1000, the system tends to swap out old pages when processing memory fragments to meet the application requirements. When the value of this parameter is close to0, the system tends to do memory compaction when processing memory fragments. 500
vm.overcommit_ratio When the system uses the algorithms where memory usage never exceeds the thresholds, the total memory address space of the system cannot exceed the value of swap+RAM multiplied by the percentage specified by this parameter. When the value of vm.overcommit_memory is set to 2, this parameter takes effect. 90
MTU Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for a node NIC. The default value in the OS is 1500. You can set it to 8192 to improve the performance of sending and receiving data using SCTP. 8192
