ZooKeeper protocol analyzer and stats gathering daemon

Installing

You can install ZKTraffic via pip:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install zktraffic

Or run it from source (if you have the dependencies installed, see below):

.. code-block:: bash

$ git clone https://github.com/twitter/zktraffic.git $ cd zktraffic $ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --iface=eth0

To get a quick count of requests by path:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --iface=eth0 --count-requests 10000 --sort-by path / 1749 /services/prod/search 846 /configs/teleportation/features 843

Or by type:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --iface=eth0 --count-requests 10000 --sort-by type GetChildrenRequest 9044 ExistsRequest 958

You can also measure latencies by path (avg, p95 and p99):

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --measure-latency 1000 --group-by path --aggregation-depth 2 --sort-by p99 path avg p95 p99

Or by type:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-dump --measure-latency 1000 --group-by type --sort-by p99 type avg p95 p99

Or use the stats gathering daemon:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo ZKTRAFFIC_SOURCE=1 bin/zk-stats-daemon --iface=eth0 --http-port=9090

Or you can build PEX files — from the source — for any of the available tools:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install pex

zk-dump

$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.zk -o zk-dump.pex .

zk-stats-daemon

$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.stats_daemon -o stats-daemon.pex .

zab-dump

$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.zab -o zab-dump.pex .

fle-dump

$ pex -v -e zktraffic.cli.fle -o fle-dump.pex .

More info about PEX here.

What is ZKTraffic?

An {iptraf,top}-esque traffic monitor for ZooKeeper. Right now it exports per-path (and global) stats. Eventually it'll be made to export per-user stats too.

It has a front-end, zk-dump, that can be used in interactive mode to dump traffic:

# need root or CAP_NET_ADMIN & CAP_NET_RAW
$ sudo zk-dump --iface eth0
21:08:05:991542 ConnectRequest(ver=0, zxid=0, timeout=10000, session=0x0, readonly=False, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
————————►21:08:06:013513 ConnectReply(ver=0, timeout=10000, session=0x148cf0aedc60000, readonly=False, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
21:08:07:432361 ExistsRequest(xid=1, path=/, watch=False, size=14, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
————————►21:08:07:447353 ExistsReply(xid=1, zxid=31, error=0, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
21:08:07:448033 GetChildrenRequest(xid=2, path=/, watch=False, size=14, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
————————►21:08:07:456169 GetChildrenReply(xid=2, zxid=31, error=0, count=1, client=127.0.0.1:50049)
...

Or, it can work in daemon mode from which it exposes HTTP/JSON endpoints with stats that can be fed into your favourite data collection system:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo zk-stats-daemon.pex --app_daemonize --aggregation-depth=5

Wait for 1 min and:

Other relevant endpoints for stats are:

• /json/ips: top-N per-ip stats
• /json/auths: per-auth stats
• /json/auths-dump: a full dump of known auths
• /json/info: process uptime and introspection info
• /threads: stacks for all threads

More tools!

Along with zk-dump and zk-stats-daemon, you can find fle-dump which allows you to inspect FastLeaderElection traffic (i.e.: the protocol by which ZooKeeper decides who will lead and the mechanism by which the leader is subsequently discovered):

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo fle-dump --iface eth0 -c Notification( timestamp=00:57:12:593254, src=10.0.0.1:32938, dst=10.0.0.2:3888, state=following, leader=3, zxid=0, election_epoch=0, peer_epoch=0, config= server.0=10.0.0.1:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.1=10.0.0.2:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.2=10.0.0.3:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.3=10.0.0.4:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.4=10.0.0.5:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 version=10010d4d6 ) Notification( timestamp=00:57:12:595525, src=10.0.0.2:3888, dst=10.0.0.1:32938, state=looking, leader=1, zxid=4296326153, election_epoch=1, peer_epoch=1, config= server.0=10.0.0.1:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.1=10.0.0.2:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.2=10.0.0.3:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.3=10.0.0.4:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 server.4=10.0.0.5:2889:3888:participant;0.0.0.0:2181 version=10010d4d6 ) ...
