Getting Started

System Requirements

• golang 1.7+ - needed only for building
• [Linux] (kernel 2.6+)

Operating systems

• Linux/amd64

Installation

Download the plugin binary:

You can get the pre-built binaries for your OS and architecture from the plugin's GitHub Releases page. Download the plugin from the latest release and load it into snapteld (/opt/snap/plugins is the default location for Snap packages).

To build the plugin binary:

Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-schedstat Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:

$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-plugin-collector-schedstat.git

Build the Snap schedstat plugin by running make within the cloned repo:

$ make

This builds the plugin in ./build/

Configuration and Usage

• Set up the Snap framework.

• Configure procPath: path to procfs filesystem if you are running Snap in container

• Load the plugin and create a task, see example in Examples.

Collected Metrics

List of collected metrics is described in METRICS.md.

Plugin does not support collection of metrics for a single core or socket

Examples

Example of running Snap schedstat collector and writing data to file.

Ensure Snap daemon is running:

• initd: service snap-telemetry start
• systemd: systemctl start snap-telemetry
• command line: snapteld -l 1 -t 0 &

Download and load Snap plugins:

$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-collector-schedstat/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-collector-schedstat
$ wget http://snap.ci.snap-telemetry.io/plugins/snap-plugin-publisher-file/latest/linux/x86_64/snap-plugin-publisher-file
$ chmod 755 snap-plugin-*
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-collector-schedstat
$ snaptel plugin load snap-plugin-publisher-file

Create a task manifest file  (exemplary files in [examples/tasks/] (examples/tasks/)):
```yaml
---
  version: 1
  schedule:
    type: "simple"
    interval: "1s"
  max-failures: 10
  workflow:
    collect:
      metrics:
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/schedYield: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/scheduleCalled: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/scheduleLeftIdle: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/tryToWakeUp: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/tryToWakeUpLocalCPU: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/jiffiesRunning: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/jiffiesWaiting: {}
        /intel/proc/schedstat/cpu/*/*/timeslices: {}
      publish:
        - plugin_name: "file"
          config:
            file: "/tmp/schedstat_metrics.log"

Download an example task file and load it:

$ curl -sfLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-schedstat/master/examples/tasks/schedstat-file.yaml
$ snaptel task create -t schedstat-file.yaml

See realtime output from snaptel task watch <task_id> (CTRL+C to exit)

$ snaptel task watch 480323af-15b0-4af8-a526-eb2ca6d8ae67

This data is published to a file /tmp/schedstat_metrics per task specification
